THE PARKERS IN LLORET, JULY 2007


This week we have had a visit from friends back in England...

The weather I'm glad to say was very good for them with temperatures in the 30s, just what they needed after the bad weather at home!!
So here's a few photo's to remind them of what I hope was a good holiday!!

Lloret de Mar - A bad start to the year.

Well after a long break (sorry...no excuse's, just me being lazy!!) I feel I should get started on this blog again.



Its now July and summer is well and truly here. Over the last few months a lot has happend here in Lloret, and as it says above ''We'll bring you the good the bad and the ugly''

First of all I'll mention the awful news which shocked everyone here and at home in the UK...

We have lost 2 very good friends who have both lived and worked here for many years.



The first was Julie who died very suddenly at the family home here in Lloret, age only 48.

Gerry her husband and their son Simon will miss her terribly....also her family and friends in the UK and many friends here.

Gerry's Bar will never be the same again!



Then not more than a few weeks later after a short illness Kevin died age 50. Kevin had various activity projects on the go. The main one being the diving school, hence his nickname of 'Bubbles' of which I'm sure he was quietly proud of!

He had many more ideas in his head which he was always wanting to share with people to ask their opinion of.

We all had many a laugh discussing which ones would earn him his first million!!
