Speak Their Name, TVAM & Moot Brewery Tasting
Plus, pay what you can for fruit & veg
I’ve managed to squeeze a lot of Ramsgate in around working this weekend. From delicious snacks and drinks at Seabird on Friday to a visit to Radford House for their veggie sale (more on that below), I’m once again reflecting on this slice of coastal heaven. This morning, I sat at the edge of the harbour and watched the world go by. It was bright blue skies, without even a hint of a breeze. There are brighter days ahead, folks, and a whole load of events too…
Don’t miss out, until next week - EJP x
