GREETINGS!

Time flies when you're 'avin' fun don't it just.
I wanted to push this one out if only to record that I'm still upright ( as my late neighbour used to say)
I can't say I've been up to much of late due to various malfunctions.
Never mind aye?
Just the other day Mike Dowse stopped by to leave a brief memory with us on Graham Keys' page.
Thanks, Mike! 

During 2023 I decided to write a Blog about my work time at a local dairy where I spent 15 happy years, recalling sundry experiences assisted by three old (!) workmates from those far-off days beginning in 1969. It was from here and with a work mate that I got to go to Safari.
The derelict buidings were demolished during 2024 after standing unused for over 30 years.
My Blog shows how it went.
It's doubtful if it would be of much interest to those here 'though it is on the Safari Blog via a link in my profile.

So, My Friends, there it is.
Wishing you the Very Best, now and next year, and hoping all's good with you.

Take care you all.

Cheers!
Auld Bobby F.

Tim Pullens' page - Welcome Tim!

 


GREETINGS, all Safari Village followers, and I hope you're (we're!) all doin' well?

(We're a rare breed!)

It's been a while since my last post. 

I'm really pleased to advise that we have a new page containing the story and experiences of Tim Pullen who was at Safari in 1970.

WELCOME, Tim, so pleased you found us and took the trouble to recount your story.

Gather round and take a look-see.


More noose as it breaks.

Best to all for what remains of the "Summer"!


Auld Bobby Friendship.

Safari Village, Tangiers, Morocco, June 1971


 

During the period June 19th thru July 3rd. 1971 myself and a work colleague, Malcolm Peach, joined many other folk on an 18 - 30 holiday at a camp site 30 miles out of Tangiers.
I have often reflected on that time and, as the years roll by, I wonder how the other people we met have fared. A search for news of that experience revealed little. Perhaps it's of no consequence. It was a long time ago and people get on with their lives.
But, just in case you were there and, like myself, just wonder...........

I will be adding to this blog in due course.

One of the many hut circles where you can see here,
on the right, Little Mo's. I can't remember Mo's job
but she provided assistance. The young woman
at left was, I believe, the camp medic. (MAGGIE!)
I met her at a Discotheque (the Penny Farthing)
in Barnstaple, some 12 months later.
