Back to Normality!

Well, I should think all those who came to Lloret this week are just about back to your normal routine at home and more or less dried out! Hope you all had a great time time and thanks to everyone who brought photos over for me to use for the 'Old Stuff' ...... Lets start off again with this weeks star of the show Aunty Jean, where she gets her energy from I don't know!  She brought some fantastic photos which we haven't yet seen.....
The 1st photo is one of the old propeller planes (in colour as well !)
2nd photo - Changing coaches at the border in 1959, look at how she's dressed, they used to really dress up to travel in those days....so I'm told!


The photo below is taken on Fenals beach....how did anyone find Fenals beach all those years ago! ???

Photos from Maureen

Maureen on the right, but with who, can anyone help?

Thanks to Maureen for sorting out some of her photos from the 70s when she was working in Lloret. She was recently here for a few days in the sun with friends from work, if I remember rightly she said it was her first visit for more than 28 yrs! Maureen just couldn't believe how the old place had changed in that time. She will be back here for the reunion to meet up with everyone.

Bullfight June 78, but again, with who?

Reel History of Britain

The BBC2 programme 'Reel History of Britain' about  the early days of tourism abroad - which I was contacted a while ago was shown on TV yesterday, I didn't get chance to watch then but I managed to get it on BBC iPlayer today. Two people I put the BBC in contact with were used for the programme, Sue was one who we see briefly chatting to Melvyn Bragg and another was Stephen the BA airline pilot who they did talk to at length. If you want to see the programme yourself just go to BBC iPlayer >  SUN, SEA & SANGRIA!
