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??
