Lloret's Oldest Workers!

Today we have a photo with a difference!

Everyone who came out to Lloret de Mar to take jobs in the bars and clubs etc, would have stayed in the larger homes of the locals known as 'Pensions' So the above photo will be of interest to many of you as it features many of your old landladies!

They were all recently invited to receive an award at the Evenia Olympic Park Hotel for their services to tourism, I believe Conchita is in the middle row 3rd from the right.

Who do you recognise?

Andy and Carols pics

Thanks to Ian for forwarding a selection of photos from his brother Andy and wife Carol, with the first 2 here we have Ian & Smoothie in a photo taken in the Rob Roy and the 2nd with workers at a Spanish wedding at the church in Lloret.

Dianes Photos ?

I think the 2 photos here today belong to Diane...passed on to me by Linda. I dont have any more details, is it possible they were taken at the last reunion?

Pauline's Photos

Thanks to Pauline for bringing some of her photos over to Lloret this weekend for me to put on the blog. With the two published here today we travel back to 1971, easily recognised in the top photo are Pauline herself 2nd from the right and then Gerry stood next to her.

Can we add any more names to the list?

Lloret´s farewell to Stevie!

 It was Lloret´s turn to say goodbye to Stevie last night, And what a night it was.

There were a few tears but also lots of laughs!

 Many of his friends had travelled from the UK to join Stevie's family for one last night in Buzzbys. The bar was opened at 6pm where we all gathered before walking down to Fenals beach where after a few words from Andrew his ashes were scattered. We then layed a dozen yellow roses on the same spot,  a huge round of applause from everyone there then followed! After a few minutes we all then made our way back to the bar and had a great night as you could only ever do in Buzzby's! 

All the photos from last night can be seen over on........ Buzzbys page.

Buzzbys , The end of an era!

 Buzzbys doors will be open tonight for the last time.

Stevie´s family have put a notice on the door to welcome all his friends for a goodbye drink.

Here are just a few photos from Sue looking back to some of the good times and memories we all have of Buzzby's with Rish and Stevie.

You just knew what sort of night it was going to turn into when he opened the Jagermeister!
Just look at that expression on his face!

Photos from Phil

Thanks a lot to Phil (who I met for the first time at Stevie´s funeral) He kindly brought some photos for me to add to the Old Stuff site. Here's the 1st one from the Texas Saloon.....with plenty more to follow shortly.

If you read this Phil, I'll get them packed up and sent back to you possibly tomorrow, I just got back to Lloret last night!

Also thanks to Linda who sent lots of photos from Diane!
