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??
