Canyelles Banner

I have recently had this image sent by an unknown fan of the 'Old Stuff' it looks like some sort of propaganda banner featuring an image of Canyelles Beach, I've no idea of the date...maybe 1960s, I did a bit of editing to the shape as the border was a bit tatty, it looks quite good now even though I do say it myself! 

Is there one for Lloret beach anywhere out there?

Carolines Photos

 Today we have a few more pics from Caroline, some of you out there may know Caroline's parents who still live here in Lloret, Eric and Margarita often seen in the Bar Maritim, behind Magic Park, and Barretina, and are friendly with Fiona.

Photos from Annette

Annette and I have been in contact quite a lot just recently, she was a good friend of Hammy's a few years ago and after seeing photos from his 50th birthday on the site she got in touch. She has some photos which she wanted Hammy to 'ok' before we published them. We had a bit of a laugh in Rabbie's yesterday with us sending messages back and forward between Hammy and Annette.
I wish you could have seen his face Annette he was looking very pleased with him self!

Photos from Mariano

We havent had any photos from Mariano for a while as he has been on holiday but now he is back and has sent these pics for us. Mariano lives in the Aragon region where he says "It is like living in hell this August is 43º through the day and 30º at night and nobody can sleep"

I must say we havent had those sort of temperatures in Lloret this August but it must go down as one of the hottest on record!

Rosamar - Annette, Sanda & Mariano

Many thanks to Graham for these photos which date back to the early 70s, this is the message from Graham.......

"Discovered your 'old stuff' site recently. Was in Lloret for four summers from 1970. Worked a couple of seasons, one year partly at PP's and Tempo, another all summer at New Cortijo and was a 'dosser' for the last two seasons.

Was in Palamos and Llafranc last month saw the signs to Lloret but resisted the urge, too many years have passed"

A few More from Paul

 Still lots more photos from Paul Seager to publish....Paul was in Lloret from 1982 – 1987 and was manager at Sweeney Todds.

Photos from Caroline

Thanks to Caroline for sending her photos today - here are the first few, she hasn't included any info with them so maybe someone out there can tell us where and when they were taken and I'm sure that a few of you will recognise yourselves!

I think this is Caroline in the green jumper as she is in most of the photo's.

A few clue's here as to the above bar...Pink Panther??

Is that Terry Bell at the back of the bottom Picture?

Photos from Sue Vale

Today we havea few photos from Sue...in the first one is Sue's daughter Emma behind the bar at Laural & Hardy's. Harry Mahon is at the front in the next photo is that Jim Vale behind him?

Bad Comments

Just for the time being I am moderating any comments which are posted on the blog as we have some idiot who seems to enjoy trying to spoil other peoples pleasure. You can still add comments but they wont show until they have been approved. The comments which have been put on the blog tonight were not very nice and were aimed at one person in particular and as some of readers children and probably grand children sometimes look at the blog then the language used was totally out of order....the IP address which they came from is 86.128.110.143 and I also know the town. Sorry to all the decent people out there for the inconvenience!
