Photos from Mike Sparkes

Thanks to Mike for sending these photos for the blog,
Here are the details from the email he sent with them.

1) Waiting for the clipper home
2) End of season meal in the Calamic(?)
3) Cutty Sark
"I've also added this extra one which is of little general interest but you mentioned somewhere you would like to see evidence of the way the town was back then. It shows the view from our apartment one year. It was up above the top road behind the Britannia and a disco on the corner whose name escapes me.The old farmer toiled long hours in the sun...no mechanical aids for him- hope he sold out for a massive profit"

Pete from Hull, thats him. One day he got locked in the beer store at lunchtime stock take. When the manager opened up the Bucc that evening he heard singing, investigated to find Pete in right state, having survived his ordeal by working his way along the brandy shelf. Still worked the shift though.

yep, stayed for 6 weeks. Only got charged for 2 weeks though. Tried to tell them it was 6 weeks but they weren't having it! A great result for us,we were low on pesetas. Funnily enough while we there a guy came on holiday and camped on the next pitch, ended up staying and became a lloret legend....blond hair, east ender.
