An old friend moved away. At the weekend, we took the train to the seaside to see their new place. When we arrived they were stood in the station and all ten of us ran to place our arms around each other. A passing stranger took a photo of us tangled with the sun streaming in. We walked on the sand, offered each other shells, tenderly held hands and shouted over the sea, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, ate chips, sang badly. Standing looking out at the waves, E came up behind me and put their hands on my shoulders. They said, 'we are so lucky'. It was restorative, so documenting it here 🐚

Lucy the Elephant was built in 1881 on the shores of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Over the years, she was used as a hotel, restaurant and party venue. In the 60s, after decades of continuous use, Lucy was in desperate need of restoration and was at risk of demolition.

Thankfully, in the 70s, Lucy was purchased by the Margate Civic Association who moved her to a new spot and restored her back to her former glory. Somehow, Lucy went unharmed during Hurricane Sandy, adding to her symbolic status of the strength and spirit of New Jersey. She’s also now a National Historic Landmark.

She is occasionally available to rent via airbnb but the listing is currently inactive as she goes through renovations.  I would love to see her become a hotel again someday. 🐘 Source

I went to Margate for the Margate Gay Pride 2023 yesterday. But of course I couldn’t miss the “ADHD HYPERFICATION & WHY IT LOOKS LIKE I LOVE PEDRO PASCAL” art gallery by Heidi Gentle Burrell at The Rhodes Gallery.

It was lovely to talk to her about ADHD and about Pedro! She’s super nice and easy going. I was nervous and went to shook her hand but she hugged me Instead! ❣️ I bought 3 postcards with a detailed drawing of Pedro’s hand and lips and she gifted me with 2 pins for the parade.

She’s preparing part 2 of her exhibition and I’m looking forward to see it!

The Shell Grotto in Margate, UK has 4.6 million shells decorating its walls. Some over the years have been vandalised by the public, damaged by the soot from gas-lamps or simply fallen off. Nobody knows the reason for this grotto’s existence even the experts are lost.

Banksy 'Valentine's day mascara' 2023

Freezer forming part of Banksy's new work removed hours after artist confirms mural

British street artist Banksy confirmed a new mural showing a 1950s housewife with a swollen eye apparently pushing a man into an abandoned chest freezer was his work early on Valentine's Day, just hours before the appliance was removed.

The artwork, which Banksy titled "Valentine's day mascara" on his website, appeared in the seaside town of Margate, east England, on Sunday night. Its subject and timing appear to highlight violence against women.

Banksy offers few clues about his work, which usually appears in public locations overnight, beyond a confirmation on social media.

Artist Pete Brown was painting the scene when the genuine freezer — which formed an integral part of the mural — was removed on Tuesday morning.

"A council truck turned up and they took away the freezer," he said, adding that the vehicle had the hazard warning lights and a metal cage typical of those used to clear fly-tipping.

Thanet District Council said the graffiti was on a wall of a privately owned property, but the freezer, which was believed to have been part of the installation, had been removed by council operatives on the grounds of safety as it was on public land.

"The fridge freezer is now in storage and will be returned once it has been made safe to the public," the council said. "We will be contacting the owner of the property to discuss the options to preserve the artwork for the district."

Brown, who was visiting Margate from Bath, said he had come to the resort to paint the sea, but after coming across the mural had spent his time painting a scene of a wall instead.

Local resident Lee Hilton said he loved art and was really happy it had appeared.

"I always thought maybe someone might put a mural on the wall, but I was never expecting a Banksy," he said.

He said he had seen a van arrive on Sunday night and cover the area with a tarpaulin. When he woke up on Monday the mural was there.

But he did not catch sight of the elusive artist, and said even if he had done, he would not have wanted to give his identity away.
