Those of you in millionaires row will be pleased to know that Richard left a few interesting local collectables in stock including the sought after expanded 1736 edition of Lewis’s Isle of Tenet, a first edition 1817 of Moses’s Ramsgate views has come in since Richard nearly cleared me out of antiquaria I am also expecting a consignment of rare local items back from restoration at the bookbinders on Friday afternoon, just in time for stocking fillers.Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-35765139500941526572007-12-16T12:56:00.000+00:002007-12-16T12:56:00.000+00:00Being a hardcore community mingler myself, I shuff...Being a hardcore community mingler myself, I shuffled along to the bandstand/Albion House bizzarre too.<BR/>Mulled wine, lovely! Bizzarre stalls, terrific! Brass band playing Silent Night, accompanied by two small dogs trying to kill eachother in the noisiest way possible, wasn't so sure about that!Lucy Mailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269768852893564992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-10071394415771638062007-12-16T09:50:00.000+00:002007-12-16T09:50:00.000+00:00I did visit the so-called Polar Village but only g...I did visit the so-called Polar Village but only glanced in so missed the plastic ice and the reindeer who apparently turned up later! I've decided not to buy Christmas presents this year ( a very liberating experience too) so my brief visit to Albion House where most of the Eastcliff bazaar had retreated to because of the cold winds was really just to say hello. But I did take pity on the poor guys valiantly manning the bandstand in freezing temperatures and share a beaker full of mulled wine with them. By the way in case you're wondering - I'm not mean but I'm giving money to two local charities instead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
