Jayne Guy and Corbin left last Wednesday as they had to return to the UK for a few months, so on Tuesday Champa and Pritam wanted all 'the family' to have a farewell dinner together in the kitchen. She made really tasty chana puri, paneer saag and locally grown red rice and we even had a few beers to wash it down.
We had a great night with lots of chatting, laughter and reminiscing over the years of good times we have spent together and of other good friends/travellers who have stayed here in the house. I'm sounding like we were all saying goodbye for the last time but, in actual fact we'll all be here next year, at the same time, same place and same good company!
Corbin, the star of the show early in the evening, had to get to bed so it was goodnight all round. Champa adores Corbin and is really upset when he leaves for a few months.
Pritam also adores Corbin and hates when he leaves.
At least Colin got someone to play 'paper rock scissors' with him.
No farewell dinner is complete without a leaving present. Champa produced a pink 'beard comb' for Guy (it was a small hair comb for a child's doll) which left us all in stitches laughing as Guy's beard is a long-standing gripe of Champas. We will miss Jayne, Guy and Corbin being here in the house. Although we had our own space and weren't on top of one another we all enjoyed meeting on the balcony for a wee hello in the passing or a sit down together for a good natter and a right good laugh.
