I never thought that the 50's would come back into fashion and think of all the things we have thrown over the years. My dad you used to keep everything with the notion that you never know when you might want it. I think now after all the years he was right:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211870462490954636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772532068403786265.post-25106381013878305282009-04-17T22:17:00.000+01:002009-04-17T22:17:00.000+01:00I love the view from Palace Pier, Brighton, probab...I love the view from Palace Pier, Brighton, probably because I have fond memories of a visit there when I first passed my driving test many years ago!<br /><br />I love the Brixham china ~ I've never come across this before.<br /><br />Marie xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772532068403786265.post-34176459120703302742009-04-17T18:33:00.000+01:002009-04-17T18:33:00.000+01:00Lovely pictures, I like the Ramsgate one.

I first came across his work in his book RAIN LATER, GOOD - Illustrating the Shipping Forecast. In this book he actually paints the various sea areas such as Cromarty, German Bight, Dover, Wight, Portland, etc. Another of his books is SOUTH BY SOUTH WEST - painting the Channel Islands. And the third is ENCOMPASSING BRITAIN - Painting at the Points of the Compass. He found the 'middle' of Britain, and then took 32 locations on the coast, from the centre. These are not 1950s books and don't have that lovely retro look to them, but they are certainly gorgeous books to have for anyone who loves coastal regions. <br />Margaret Pgalanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772532068403786265.post-40952622261752811872009-04-17T18:01:00.000+01:002009-04-17T18:01:00.000+01:00Oooh...you have the same lighthouse paperweight as...Oooh...you have the same lighthouse paperweight as me, I have no idea where mine is, packed away somewhere still no doubt from the move. I bought mine as it reminded me of the Hoad monument in Ulverston, that stands high on a hill a couple of miles inland from the sea. I knew it was based on a real lighthouse. <br /><br />I love the pictures, what a wonderful book.<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772532068403786265.post-15769800157176220662009-04-17T16:56:00.000+01:002009-04-17T16:56:00.000+01:00You and me both.

The view I really miss is the view from the kitchen window of the house my parents built in Dittisham, it was a view of the River Dart.

I had no idea there was a 'Brixham' design - it was probably too expensive, and possibly too modern, for my grandparents to collect it when they lived there.Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.com
