A Farewell To Sam

(otherwise known as "Hello to Buff Bollywood Boys"). Our favourite Novacastrian refugee in Melbourne, Sammy C, is preparing to take off to India for a year to work in a variety of settings. But as is obligatory before such a bold and adventurous move she had her own East Coast farewell tour. The highlight of course being to sample the extraordinary Crawford hospitality with a host of good friends, great wine and truffle butter (no Crawford event is complete without some gastronomic gourmet delight that is almost beyond belief for us mere mortals used to Vegemite toast)



Unfortunately no photos recorded the impromptu Funky Chicken war cry led by the ever shy duo of Kent and Dave.



Also spent the day in the Blue Mountains, hosted by Tour Guide Smith - large breakfast, plenty of coffee, a secret location, and incredible chilli chocolates. Nice work comrade.

Good luck Sam, we all (especially Nic) look forward to the arrival of your blog, and the tales of wonder and excitement to follow! (and of course the safe return of your renewed and transformed self)

Oh, I love it! Jono, can you email me that fabulous, historical photo? (yeah yeah, the one with lots of people in it :))

Good write up, we'll miss you Sam!

what a fabulous reminder of the beginning of sam's momentous adventure and an excellent night! I must admit that this photo has given me inspiration to complete the painting series - as that one painting looks so lonely on that wall! I also have a video of that funky chicken war cry - perhaps one for YouTube?? hmmmm... ;-) mel
