Take a moment to follow some of these links on the history of the<a href="http://www.ramsgatehistory.com/forum/index.php?topic=541.0"> Smack Boys</a> homes.<br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f5f6; color: #212124; font-family: "proxima nova" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The Smack Boys were very young boys, some as young as 10, many from the workhouse in Minster, who worked on the fishing smacks. This was in the days when Ramsgate had a large fishing fleet.</span><br />

I have been collecting scarves since I was 14 years old - many, many decades ago. I have never found a <a href="http://store.petermax.com/">Peter Max</a> scarf before.<br />
It does not matter that it is in poor condition with a hole. I don't care if its the ugliest thing I have ever seen.<br />

Last week of the Saturday morning <a href="https://www.evergreen.ca/evergreen-brick-works/farmers-market/">Brickworks Farmers Market</a> - some move indoors for the winter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The crowd has changed. Many, many more tourists , not in itself a bad thing, just they are not there to shop but to be entertained.<br />

I will make up my mind on how to continue next spring<br />

I'm a sucker for <a href="http://www.visitcheshire.com/things-to-do/paradise-mill-p27671">old industrial sites, mills</a>, factories all over the world but <a href="http://belmontestate.net/grenada-history.htm">Belmont Estates</a> in Grenada must be the prettiest I have visited. It's a working plantation that dates to the 17the century.</div>

A sign in the entrance to<a href="https://freshchoicenelson.co.nz/"> Fresh Choice supermarke</a>t in Nelson,New Zealand. A pity some North American supermarkets dont follow this example instead of displaying cheap sweets at kids eye level.<br />

However, I did laugh at this sign on the roadside by The Deep Sea Sport Fishing Club !!! ( my exclamation marks ) on<a href="https://www.airnewzealand.com/flights-to-cook-islands?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=BING_USA_PI_Dest_City_Broad&utm_term=%2Brarotonga"> Rarotonga</a>. The DSSFT has changed their hours. It used to state ' Happy Hour All Day ' until a neighbouring bar advertised 'All Day Happy Hour' !<br />

I have been a loyal customer since the 1960s - I wore a pink and white check wool suit to my engagement dinner.<br />
The first present I bought my husband came from the <a href="http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-3380702/Jaeger-leave-flagship-store-London-s-Regent-Street-week-80-years.html">Regent Street store.</a><br />
<br />
The items were well made and last a lifetime, but I guess folks dont want that now.<br />
