Karens photos

 Two photos from Karen today, in the first one from 1978is Karen, Paula and Tommy. For those of you who don't know about Tommy...he is now a man of leisure, after retiring last year. He had been having some problems with his back, and wasn't able to work for a few months but he is now much better and able to get out and about more.

The next photo...Grace  and Roman pictured outside the Montevideo where a lot of the workers lived. 

Karen says she can remember that Louisa the owner used to sleep behind her door and watch for everybody as they came in! She must have lost soooo much sleep!

Latest News on (Para) Alan

 I've recieved this message today but I've omitted the persons name who is trying ... or should I say doing their very, very best to sort this out....

"There have been no developments or no good news anyway. To be honest its all been a massive cock up on part of the judge and because of the holidays. Wednesday consulate told _____ the judge is back but because the temporary judge declined the petition they would have to submit a new one. Friday _____ called them and the consulate said it had been done do he went to blanes and they said there had been some error on the application. They would try to sort it out and would be in contact. Its just been so frustrating and _____ is getting to his limit bless him. Then today the tanatori has called to say they cant hold the body any longer and so are asking the judge for permission to bury him. She says she can't believe the errors that have been made by the judges. Also now sadly there is no chance of cremation anyway as the body is too old. So now ____ is in the process of talking to the tanatori to find out what the next steps are. _____ is gutted as he has tried so hard and he really didn't want alan buried but sadly there is nothing more he can do. Will be in touch this afternoon to let you know what is happening. Think really its just time to lay alan to rest however that may be. Was wondering if you had any pictures of alan from before he became ill or when he looked a bit healthier as ____ would like some for the wake."

Eddie'sphotos

We go back to somewhere around about the mid 70s with a couple of pics from Eddie today.
The bottom one shows Eddie in the centre of the picture and the top one was taken outside the White Horse...
Sadly the White Horse has now closed just before Christmas after Haken & Cathrine who have run the bar for the last 6-7 yrs or so have decided to move further down the coast of Spain to try their luck with another bar.

Karen's Photos

1982

 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?

1978

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.
