Pub no.3. We wanted to get the bus here from the Artillery Arms but it didn't turn up on time so we walked the 50m. I was informed that I looked like Christopher Reeve by a local. I didn't live it down all day.

Mid evening visit on a cold damp Ramsgate night, in fact how I best like any coastal resort. Good chat with the Guv about the value of Tomson & Wotton artefacts and the latest ones he has been offered but refused!
