Discovering Hidden Gems in Ramsgate, South East England | #ad
My big goal this year is to explore more of the UK now that I’m back living here full time. So when Southeastern asked if I wanted to head to Ramsgate, a small town in Kent, in search of “hidden gems”, I leapt at the chance!
This video showcases a few of my favourite hidden gems in Ramsgate, as well as some of the best local shops, restaurants, and things to do. Get even more ideas, as well as prices and practical information, in my Ramsgate travel guide here:

Broadstairs
Broadstairs is a coastal town on the Isle of Thanet in the Thanet district of east Kent, England, about 80 miles (130 km) east of London. It is part of the civil parish of Broadstairs and St Peter's, which includes St Peter's and had a population in 2001 of about 24,000. Situated between Margate and Ramsgate, Broadstairs is one of Thanet's seaside resorts, known as the Jewel in Thanet's crown. The town's crest motto is Stella Maris (Star of the Sea). The name derives from a former flight of steps in the chalk cliff, which led from the sands up to the 11th-century shrine of St Mary on the cliff's summit.

CANTERBURY, KENT - what to see
Canterbury in Kent is a truly gorgeous location I would highly recommend to everyone to visit. Not only it is packed with history but most of the historical sites can be viewed and admired in the city centre after paying a very small fee compared to the high fees you would have to pay in similar locations around the world that take you to cleaners.
On the way to the Cathedral from the train station (some one hour away from London thus making it a great day trip) you can visit the Tower, the gardens, the Freemason museum and even the very old Eastbridge hospital which was more like a location for pilgrims to rest and not have 'surgeries'!!! And all these are located on the high street!!!
Add to this the gorgeous architecture of the recent hundreds of years and then you learn why this place must be visited at least once in your life time.
I sincerely hope all this information was of some help to you.

'Transformations' - Robin Greenwood
TRANSFORMATIONS
Sculptures by ROBIN GREENWOOD and Paintings by GARY WRAGG
Curated by Sam Cornish
5 – 27 May 2018
at Linden Hall Studio
In this short film, Robin Greenwood is in conversation with Gallery Director Myles Corley, at his Studio in London.
Both Robin Greenwood and Gary Wragg see abstract art in terms of freedom. Beginning with freedom for the artist, this is ultimately and most importantly a freedom for the viewer. Both artists offer us a freedom to explore, to imaginatively engage with – and be moved by – structures discovered in the process of creation. Both artists envision space as manifold, articulating it with structures which are multi-dimensional, full of diversity. They encourage an active viewer. They want to keep us on our toes.
Complexity is approached in different ways, guided by their very different temperaments and their understanding of the different demands of their medium. Rooted in gestural abstraction, Wragg’s images often seem to shift, with moments of precision emerging from a general disorientating melee. He wants his images to contain an exciting and risky instability and a slowly developing order: his ideal is ‘stillness within movement; movement within stillness.’ Greenwood’s constructions are also improvised, but more securely and patiently realised, with the definite connection of one piece of steel to the next. His sculptures hold together tightly and unfold slowly, moving through space in a way which demands that the viewer also keeps on the move. Together Greenwood’s sculptures and Wragg’s paintings offer parallel conceptions of a world in a state of flux.
Since 2017 Greenwood has been making steel sculptures that hang suspended from the ceiling. We plan to show three of these at Linden Hall. One of the main effects of the suspension is to bring the sculptures into the space of paintings – which are themselves lifted off the floor and hung on the surrounding walls. Seeing how these new sculptures interact with Wragg’s paintings is what I am most looking forward to in Transformations.

Margate, Jewel of the Kentish Coast
In the second part of his Thanet Trilogy, the disgraced former New York music industry insider performs a hip hop-styled ode to the town in which his favourite restaurant, Dev Biswal's The Ambrette, is located. The singing is by former London-based singing sensation Miss Zelda Hyde. And the lyrics are as follows:
Margate, jewel of the Kentish coast
You're the place I adore the most
The mods and the rockers once fought on our beach
London can't say that. We're way out of reach
of all other cities. We're clearly supreme
We are a jewel, yo, just look at us gleam
Our unions are gentle and make few demands
Folks come from all over to walk on our sands
We may not have palm trees. We're not St. Tropez
We're Margate and happy to keep it that way
The Turner museum's full of fab art
Tears soak our cheeks when we have to depart
It's wicked to chill, yo, in the Shell Grotto
Margate, you rule is becoming our motto
Deal makes us squeal and by Broadstairs we're awed
Compared to us, though, all the others are flawed
When Dreamland comes back Brighton's days will be numbered
We've worked hard up here. Meanwhile down there they've slumbered
The Old Town is crowded with wonderful pubs
The seafront's got dozens of restaurants and clubs
There's even a Primark at which to buy knickers
We've got some of Kent's most inspiring vicars
Our blokes are all handsome, our women are beauties
Our civil servants dispatch all their duties
Fabulous stars love to play Winter Gardens
In beautiful Margate a heart never hardens
Margate great shops: Etc. florist and lifestyle store
I often get asked how I keep coming up with idea's for all my book and website projects. Inspiration can come from anywhere but a good fail safe is visiting a beautiful shop like this one, Etc. an unique florist and lifestyle store in Margate, Kent, UK.

Caesar's Invasion Camp Site of 54 BC - Pegwell Bay, Kent. - As Seen on BBC4
As featured on BBC 4 Digging For Britain' with Professor Alice Roberts, November 2017. The newly discovered archaeological location (Univ Leicester) of Julius Caesar invasion camp of 54 BC at Pegwell Bay in Kent. The archeological site is now covered over but lies in the field in front of the small wood North of the new dual carriageway at Cliffsend.
Julius Caesar invaded Britain twice: in 55 and 54 BC. The first invasion, in late summer, was unsuccessful, gaining the Romans little else besides a beachhead on the coast of Kent.
Caesar initially tried to land at Dubris (Dover), whose natural harbour had presumably been identified by Volusenus as a suitable landing place. However, when he came in sight of shore, the massed forces of the Britons gathered on the overlooking hills and cliffs dissuaded him from landing there, since the cliffs were so close to the shore that javelins could be thrown down from them onto anyone landing there
The Roman historical site of the Claudian invasion of AD 43 at Richborough is approximately two miles away.
Two thousand years ago, the seashore came-up very close to the main road and Caesar had his fleet anchored in the bay, where they were ravaged by a sudden storm.
