Petes photos

Here we have some photos from Pete of Pete's Bar, it was lovely catching up with him and his daughter Merce last week...(but what a shame it was at such a sad time)

Does anyone remember Moe?

Does anyone remember Moe Leahey? She has just sent me this email....

Hi jackie. I've just stumbled across ur sight. My friend susan and I were working in lloret in 1968 and are coming for a visit ( the first one since) in May. I wonder if anyone in your circle may know us. We're from manchester and lived at costanila , San Carlos no 4. We worked at the San marti babysitting and I worked at the white horse . We also spent a lot of time at the hotel aster and the top ten club in the cellar. Would be great to hear from you . Moe

More from Paul

Here's  a few more photos which Paul kindly sent me for the blog....

Photos from Paul

Thanks to Paul who sent a great selection of photos from 1982-83, he is the one pictured outside the Moef GaGa above. Paul hadn't heard about the 'Old Stuff' site until he met Billy Hayes in a Chinese restaurant in Tenerife and he told him all about it...its a small world!

Bobby Huntley's Pics

 Thanks to Bobby for this set of fairly recent pics ... I sure you will all recognise everyone in the top photo!

More sad news from Lloret

I never thought I would have to write this but here goes!

Some of you will know that our very good friend Colin Linkie has been ill for a few months now. He has spent time in hospital at Blanes and also until yesterday evening Barcelona. Colins family have been told so I've now been asked by Angie to give you the awful news that Colin has suddenly died at home last night at 11.50pm. So far what I can tell you is that Colin will be cremated tomorrow (quick I know but that is the norm here) as yet there is no arrangements for a church service but she would like to have some sort of get together when she feels able. As soon as I have more details I will let you know.

Jimmy Harvey's pics

 Going back to the 70s with 3 photos today from Jimmy.

1976 in the Highlander with Jimmy, Elane, Greg, Terry, Ian, Garry, Lyn, Sue, Pepe, and Geordie.

(How on earth Jimmy remembers all these names I dont know!)

 Again 1976 in Rabbies with Tony, Steve, Eddie, Babs and Ian.

John & Eddie in the photo above but does anyone know the girls name?

Old Scenes

1960

 Todays photos of the more laid back days from 1960 when there were hardly any homes built on 'Roca Grossa' and also 1975 when Lloret de Mar was well on its way to been the most popular first foreign holiday destination for many of us!

Alan Tolland - Mr T

After Terri asked to see some photos of Alan in his younger days I've had a look back at the photos on the site and the only ones I can find are these 3...quite a good looking chap he was too!

Lto R - Jim Vale, Sue and Mr T at the back.

I'm not sure about the photo below, I believe thats Alan in the check shirt.

Sad news

I've just had a call with bad news about a very dear friend of us all. Alan Tolland has suddenly died this afternoon.

Alan has been ill for quite some time and was taken into hospital over the Christmas period, he was said to improving with hopes of being sent home tomorrow (Friday) and was in good spirits when Maureen saw him earlier today. Our thoughts are with Alan's family at home in the UK and also in Lloret de Mar.

Happy times with family & friends
