Paula & Greg…………………….

August 2, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Who are you? Paula, Greg, Josh and Jake Patton. Why Broadstairs? It was love at first sight. We came for the day and ended up going home having bought a house. Broadstairs is the quintessential British seaside town. How do you define style? We don’t really have a specific style. We just buy things we love to look at. (Well, when we say we, most of our purchases involve Greg who is a junkyard/boot sale junkie!) Sometimes half the fun is figuring out exactly what […]

Richard………………………

July 26, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Who are you? I am Richard Harris a 44 year old stone mason who loves and champions Thanet. Why Margate / Broadstairs? We have sea on all sides of Thanet and I manage to see it at least once every day. If you were an animal, what would you be? An Arizonian barking toad. Describe a day in the life of a stonemason? No two days are the same and you are constantly learning, there is always something to challenge you. Object […]

Wyatt & Jones………………

June 7, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Who are you? Jan Wyatt. Owner of a restaurant, and therefore partner to a neglected woman. Father of five and master of none. Why Broadstairs? Beautiful beaches and friendly faces. First Thanet memory? Driving down the Thanet Way thinking I was driving over the edge of the world. Then arriving, looking out over Viking Bay. It was love at first sight. Was for me anyway. How do you define style? If you look like you are trying too hard, you […]

Who are you? The Breuer out of Breuer & Dawson, 7 King St. Ladies and gents outfitters. Why Margate? Miles of smiles. How would you describe your style? Effortless. If you were an animal, what would you be? Rattlesnake. Best and worst thing about your move to Margate? The best-the morning walk along the front from Albert terrace to king street, to open the shop. The worst-hasn’t happened yet. Best and Worst thing about your renovation experience? Best – realising that all the random objects I’ve […]

Julian…………..

April 5, 2013 by thecurioinmargate

Who are you? I am a lot of things, a filmmaker, painter, gym obsessive and writer. I am obsessed by ‘personas’, so I am many different people. But not a ‘career’ driven person, and never a ‘square’. But I make money from manufacturing collectible dolls. Why Broadstairs? I still have a flat in London, but for me, down Thanet way, it’s got to be Broadstairs. Utterly unpretentious British seaside town with a gorgeous front and great people. How do you […]

Who are you? Tim and Heather Hunter-Whitehouse – one of those teacher/nurse combination couples! Why Margate? Is there anywhere better? Seriously, we fell in love with it visiting our god-daughter here a couple of years ago, made a five year plan to move to Margate and then realised that 5 years was far too long – and so here we are! First Margate memory? Heather: I remember coming with Tim on a badminton club day trip to the seaside 25 years ago and […]

Who are you? Jill Pantony, yoga teacher and artist. Chico Salter, music quiz master & DJ (any resemblance to university lecturer Chris Anderson is purely coincidental) Why Margate?
