Rogers Photos

Who is behind bars in todays photos from Roger?

Sooty's Photos

We go back to Sooty's photos for today's pick of the Old Stuff.

Just for the next few weeks I'm on holiday in Southern Spain, so I may be asking for 1 or 2 photos from readers of the blog, as I don't have access to the full collection I have in stock.
I did fetch a few of your photos with me on a memory stick but these are the larger collections such as Jeans, Sooty's and Rogers. So apologies if the photos seem to be coming from the same people this is the reason why.

Photos from Angus

Today I've just received a new set of photos for the blog, thanks to Angus for taking the time to send them. How many of you can remember Angus or any of the other people in his photos?
Here is a copy of his email...


Hello Jackie, have only just joined your website great site brings
back memories. I have dug out some old pictures and would be
grateful if you could add them for me.
The two pictures with me with the bagpipes were taken
in the Moby and the one with the tall guy was taken in
the Piccadilly and i'm not sure about the other ones.
Thanks
Gus

Rogers Photos

Thanks to Roger for todays photos, It looks as though there's a fancy dress party going on in the bottom photo!

Jeans Photos

Todays photos come from Jeans collection. I have seen Jeans large collection of Lloret photos at her home and all are catalogued into albums with the year on each album. Jean has been coming to Lloret for 50yrs or more now so you can imagine how many photos she has!

No prizes for putting the names to todays photos!

Kevin

I have just had a look at the message board and seen a very sad piece from Kevin's partner 'Pauline' I wonder if any of you can help with her request. If you have any photos please send them to me in the ususal way and I'll put them on the blog as soon as possible.

This is a copy of Pauline's message.......

Hi
I've only just stumbled on this site today and it's great to see some familiar faces.
I lived with Kevin McDonald for 10 years and we had two beautiful girls. Sadly, circumstances brought myself and the girls back to England but Kevin was still very much in the girls lives until he died 4 years later. Kevin was a big part of Lloret and i know he's missed but there's so many stories that i'm sure some of you could share with the girls. I'd like them to know a bit more about their dad and his life in LLoret and maybe if you've got a pic or two that would be great as we don't have any photos of Kevin when he was younger.

'always thinking of ways to make a better living' His favourite saying to me was ' Pauline, this time next year.......'

Forever in our Hearts Kevin x

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"

Rogers Photos

Well, Christmas is over for another year, I hope you all had a good one!
Its now time to look forward to another year, hopefully 2010 will be kind to everyone.
Thanks to everyone who has sent photos to keep the blog going during the last 12months. I do have quite a few in stock now, but if any of you do come across any suitable photos during the coming months which you would like to see on the blog I'd be grateful if you would send them through to me.

Todays photos are from Roger, with the top one taken outside Gerrys Bar, the 2nd I'm not sure where it was taken.

What can I say about the 3rd??
Only that it looks as though it could have been taken up the coast at Estartit....but WHAT is going on??

Topo 'T' Top !

As there has been quite a bit of talk recently on the message board about the Topo 'T' Tops Disco I remembered that I still had one of the old propaganda stickers. What I don't understand is, it shows Diana Ross....Why ??

Surely people didn't go expecting to see her?

More from Roger.

These photos are from Rogers collection....Party time again by the looks of it !

Papalus

Scoo has sent this photo taken at Papalus, I believe this was taken the same night as the one I put on the blog 29th Nov.....which you can see Here!

For the person who was asking where it was....
Papalus Restaurant and Pitch & Putt golf is up on the main road going out towards Blanes, it is still open and the lads in town still enjoy their days out there!
