 Many thanks to Karen and her very patient daughter for send us a new batch of photos for the 'Old Stuff' .....  she is expecting some ''caustic comments'' from one particular person, lets see how long it takes him !!

Tommy in his 1900 days with Karen and Paula in the bar. She can't can't remember the Spanish guys  name, can anyone help?

This was taken in 1978 before starting work in Maxims and shows the lovely Stopper with Katie, Dawn and Karen.

Photos from Ross

Does anyone recognise Roy?

Just recently I have exchanged several emails with Ross, who you may remember was asking for information from anyone who could remember his uncle Roy Jennings who lived and worked in Lloret in the mid to late 70's through to the mid 80's. He has sent these photos hoping that they may jog someones memory and maybe give the family a little bit of an insight to Roys life over here in Lloret. Any information is welcome.

More from Maureen

A day trip to Barcelona 1978.

Marianos Photos

Well, Happy New Year to everyone, here we have the first lot of photos of the new year and these feature some friends of Mariano's - a lovely photo of Harry & Sandra! Can anyone remember Ernie & his wife Lynn?....(sorry its taken so long for me to use your photos Mariano!)

Can we help Ross?

 
Ross has sent in this email wanting any info about his uncle Roy Jennings who worked in Lloret in the 80s. He has come across a photo of him on the site, which you can see by scrolling back to 17th December.
If anyone out there can give any information about Roy please leave a comment under this post....it would be nice to fill in a few gaps for Ross's family at this time of year.

I have just stumbled across your 'Lloret De Mar Old Stuff' site by accident tonight whilst trying to research the area in the 80's.
My uncle used to live and work in Lloret in the mid to late 70's through to the mid 80's.
Sadly he died in Lloret in 1986 and I'm trying to find people that may of known him well and may have information about his life and death.?

Weirdly by a unbelievable coincidence he is in a photo that was posted earlier this month by a Brian!!!!
I have commented to ask about him on the photos comments.

I wanted to contact you to see if you may be able to help me please?
I've never used blogging style sites but I was wondering if you could do a general announcement to call to anybody that uses your site for information on my uncle.?

Sorry if this is asking too much but I really want to find more about him and his life.
My grandparents were too hurt and didn't handle losing him very well so they played ignorant as their way of dealing with it, leaving us knowing very little.
Even my father his brother doesn't seem too informed about his Spanish life and it being so many years later his memory isn't helping!

Hope you can help me.

Happy new year.

Regards,
Ross.

Para Alan update

I've been asked to put out a brief statement about what we know so far about Alan's death. As most of us know he had been unwell for quite a long time now, but just recently had not been coming out of his home. People have been nipping up there to make sure he was ok on a daily basis.
On the 27th there was no reply at the door the police were called and they found him in his bed. He had been dead for 24hours or less. The case has now been passed over to the British Consulate, and it's up to them to find any relatives. He did have sisters but no body knows of their whereabouts. It is hoped that they can be traced as we all hope he can have a proper service with his ashes scattered out at sea.

Sad news at Christmas
