Jeans Photos

Todays photos come from Jeans album, in the 1st one she is with Pink Maria's two boys. In the next one with '103 Bob' at a sevice station on the way home from Lloret.

The photo above is taken in Buzzbys in 1996.

The Other Three !

The other day I published 3 photos which I had somehow misplaced on my computer, so who sent them and how long ago it was I've no idea! These photos today are the last 3 from the same collection, I've still not heard anything from the person who sent them. Does anyone have a clue who it could have been?........Thanks to whoever it was anyway !!

One from Roger & One From Chris.

Here we have 2 very good photos.
The first one was sent in by Roger, the second was sent in by Chris and was taken outside LaCala in 1978.

Three From Jean

Three very different photos from Jean today, spanning quite a few years years. The first is from 1992, second is from 2003 and the last goes back to 1986 at the Village Inn.

Did you send these ???

Apologies to who ever sent me these photos !

I have just come across 6 photos (3 of which are here today) For some unknown reason they have ended up in a folder on my laptop where they shouldn't have been, and I only came across them by chance yesterday....no ones fault but mine!So to whoever sent them, sorry for not publishing them sooner.
Please let me know if you sent them ... and when !

Sooty's Photos

Gerrys Garden

I have received 2 photos from Chris today, the 1st one published today is taken in Gerry's garden, how many of you recognise the faces here ?

This is Chris's email .....

Dear Jackie,

By chance last night I saw your web site and was blown away by all the wonderful pictures you've got together over the last couple of years.


My name is Chris Hellens, I worked at Topo T Top as a DJ from 1976 - 1979

My managers in 1976 were Lenny Merson and Cyril Sheehan who still works at the Zoo in Lloret.

I would be grateful if you get any correspondence or photo's of the Topo's boys, please pass them on.

Sorry to here about Gerry.

Great times sadly missed.

Very best regards,

Chris Hellens

Jean In La Uva

The photos today from Jean feature 'La Uva' The first one taken in 1989 when Lynne was running the bar, after she left it was taken over by Soapy and Debbie and was given the Irish theme as seen in the 2nd photo.

Another From Angus

Another photo from Angus today.

Propaganda Stickers

Something different from Maggie today.....2 propaganda stickers, maybe collected by her and Colin on their way round the bars in Lloret while selling the badges they had made.

Thanks to Linda Pickles for sending todays 2 photos.
Here's a few words from Linda....

"Some more photos from my collection. the first one is in the Corner Inn and the 2nd is of the prop boys from Paddy's bar.

Cheers Linda."

A Photo From Maggie

Thanks to Maggie for sending this great picture.
Here's what Maggie said about it...

The Montego Bay Beach party (the alternative beach party) was 83 or 84 ? Tilsly will know !. The Basildon boys worked it for John McSwan.

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
