Last Tuesday the Hyams Beach Cafe crew put on a fabulous farewell for me. The whole event was filled with great food, company and poetry!
Thank you so very much to the Alison family, my wonderful workmates, everyone who came and expressed their well wishes and of course thank you to the charming and captivating Claudine for the following:
Shirts, ties and a smile you wear with flare and let's not forget that ambitious hair! You showed us your inner child, your inner clown, your inner Basil! but now you leave us for the need to travel.
Richie while you trek in other lands, advice from Claudie "wash your hands!"
And when the sun goes down over your little pup tent, remember the flat you used to rent under the Hyams Beach Cafe where you'd conjur espresso day after day.
They'd watch the waves, they'd walk the sands striding along, doggie poo bags in hand. Jock, Albert, Terry and Rich and lately Roxie, their token bitch.
They'd come home excited with stories to tell there was a lizard! A stick! And a curious smell! Into the cafe Albert would step and like day into night Phoebe yelled 'Albert get!'
Yes the memories will fade but some things will remain...
Richie's laughter, his jokes and that stubborn stain.
So Richie Rich I'm here to say when the sun sets on the coffee machine at Hyams Beach Cafe, know that we love you every step of the way! Xx
Here are some pictures from the evening:
One helluva big table!
