A photo from Phil

Thanks to Phil who has sent me this photo taken outside Gemini’s.

Taken outside Geminis cafe. Some of the Geminis girls. Paul my brother. Me front row (arms folded) Phil. Ian, one of the lads from home who came to visit. Remember Juliette, back right. Sorry don’t recall the other girls names. Think most of the girls were from Scotland. Remember Juliette lived with some of the others in a little house. Yvonne was one (not in the picture) She might have worked at The Riviera on the front. Happy days, I wonder where everyone ended up?

I think several of you are having the same thought during this lockdown period and spending a bit of time looking back at your old photos as I’ve been sent quite a few just recently....that’s great keep them coming!

Lloret's newspaper 1972!

Thanks to Imelda for sharing her newspaper pages to my Holiday group FB page, I always find such articles are really interesting as they show what the prices were like all those years ago back when the tourist were flocking to the Costa Brava.
