Just getting back into Blogging

I shut all of my old blogs down  iin a fit of despair and I am now semi over my despair so back at it.I have no real news about the area other than last week our two Conservative MP's got re-elected. Being a recent convert to the Labour Party https://labour.org.uk/   
I must say I'm  very dissapointed  that all of my efforts on TWITTER click here for my account
I wanted to see the end of Brexit and a Labour Government but as you will know nothing of the sort happened the llocal candidates faiiilled but Rosie Duffield was re elected in Canterbury.

Trip to the seaside at Margate

For various reasons I have not left the house for some time, but this evening I had a trip to Barnes car park at Westbrook. The trip out involved the purchase of Kentucky Fried Chicken from Margate high street. And then along the seafront to Westbrook. I have been in respite care for a month and found myself surprised at the number of people enjoying the seafront even at seven oclock. What else surprised me was the constant stream of cars pouring into Margate! I have been away from Thanet for most of the summer and had forgotten how many visitors actually come to enjoy themselves here.

Promote Thanet 2 an explaination

I closed down my old Promote Thanet blog after running it for several years. My main reason in closing it down was my health, I have Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and now I feel I can restart the blog in a more limited capacity. I was an incomer to Thanet originating not far away in Faversham where I had grown up and going to Ethelbert Road School in the late 1960's. I have now lived in the area for the best part of forty years and am now a resident of Margate. Love the local area and a proud MAN of KENT The history of Kent is something I love to find out about and may cover areas outside of Thanet so be warned, I once had a compaint that an article I posted was not Thanet  interest. Its my blog and I will post about whatever takes my fancy so please dont moan because I wont care Praise however I will read and glow in the warm feeling of success. Please feel free to comment but I do moderate all comments as some people find the time to write sick or stupd comments and if they want to waste there time it is fine by me but I will try my hardest to make sure they dont get posted on any of my blogs. Which brings me round to telling you about my only other blog  http://reflectingandmusing.blogspot.com/
Reflecting and Musing is a space where I go when I feel so inclined to just blog stuff but I dont feel I blog on there very often, I hope to  post on here more regularly but I have no aims to be the biggest and best most visitors or win any records. I just aim to do my best and I hope that you will enjoy my feeble efforts.
