When Mum first got to Ibiza someone dressed her as a boy & she trebled the takings!
Mum said she stopped a man in Ibiza from getting his 9 or 10 year old son drunk & at the end of his holiday he thanked her very much!
Mum said people in Ibiza used to ask how someone so young could run a restaurant as they thought she was only 14 not 45!
When Mum ran the restaurant in Ibiza with a Ten Pin Bowling Alley she got really good at it because she went to work half an hour early in the morning & at night to practice.
She didn’t have a dog in Ibiza btw but apparently “I had to be careful with our dog in Ibiza! Especially when he was in the restaurant because he would steal food. He didn’t steal food the rest of the year, only Christmas food!”
Mum said “When I worked in Ibiza I had to bury all the dead bodies, in the walls & on the beaches!”
Mum rescued a dying man in Ibiza & then he could get a job & pay some money to a children’s home!
Apparently “In Spain you were only allowed to say Merry Christmas to someone if they were wearing open toed shoes! I got told off so many times because my Merry Christmas didn’t mean anything!”
Mums chef in Ibiza once made a chocolate cake & was told by someone “Don’t ever make it again! It is illegal on the island! I will call the police!”
