  1. All looks good but I will be going to the excellent Cliftonville Farmers Market on Sunday.
    Thank you for the reminder.

  2. Don’t know why the Grant Lee Phillips show is getting a mention on here as the Ramsgate show is “ Sold out”
    Good though Music Hall ,Ramsgate could attract an artist like him and then sell it out

  3. we could add , get bitten by a dog , mugged , buy some drugs or prostitution , watch a street fight. tour the boarded up shops , need a toilet ? bad luck they are all shut or sold off – the list goes on.
