Bon Voyage to Stephany

[Martin]

On Monday (9th) Stephany returns home to Paris after a year+ here in England. She will be missed but it's not Goodbye just "Au Revoir" so have a safe journey home.

I am sure we will meet you again soon in person but meanwhile we look forward to meeting you, as always, on HWI.

Kind Regards
Martin

You beat me to it Martin!!

It's been super having you close by all this time Stephany. It seems like only five minutes since we all met you for the first time at Shepherds Bush, and here we are preparing ourselves to be saddened by your departure.

You are a pleasure to know Stephany and I value your friendship greatly. I know you will be back because you've already said so, so I look forward to seeing you again before the end of the year!

Lots of Love
Grant

I can but echo what has already been said. Stephany, it has been wonderful to have you with us at some of the events during the past year and I hope you will soon be able to join us again. It really won't be the same without you.

Thank you for your tremedous input into HWI since the day you first joined. Take care and remember, we are only an email away.

Love,
Roger

Hi Stephany

As Grant says, it doesn't seem like a year ago that we met you for the first time - do you remember opening your lovely French red wine on Shepherds Bush Green ? If I remember rightly thats where you learnt to use a corkscrew - haha. What a wonderful way to see Hayley in concert for the first time live - the lights went down, the audience silent and then - Hayley's pure voice singing Pokarakara Ana from somewhere in the wings - it makes my spine tingle even now.

The next few Hayley concerts won't be the same without you - we have had some fun haven't we - like getting lost in Southampton more than once and like spending a hour in Marks & Spencer's furniture dept in Bath, to keep out of the cold until the theatre doors open i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

I'm already looking forward to seeing you again but in the meantime, have a good summer and no doubt we'll speak on Belinda's chats to keep up to date.

Take care
Lots of love

Hello Stephany!

England won't be the same without you, but our loss is France's gain. It's been a real pleasure getting to know you during the last year, and I'm sure we'll be chatting as normal here at HWI. I'm looking forward to seeing you again very soon.

Lots of love and take care,

Dear friends,

You are all so kind. It's even a little bit overwhelming -- I don't know what to say!! I would of course like to thank you all very sincerely for the incredible welcome and amazing friendship! I tremendously enjoyed my year in England and you are the major reason I loved it so much. I'm gonna miss you too but I will be back very soon I'm sure.

Don't forget that getting from Paris to London via Eurostar is quicker than coming down from Manchester! For instance, I was still based in Paris when I went to Shepherds Bush. Hayley dear, more concerts in London? There are so many highlights and good moments I shared with you! I will cherish and treasure those memories forever.

Anyways-- I'm currently busy packing and enjoying my last few days in Manchester. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for welcoming me so warmly in the UK, I truly felt like an 'honorary Brit'! Each one of you has become a very dear and special friend. I had no idea it would be like this when I first joined HWI but these are friendships I value more than you can even imagine.

Merci
Stephany

Hi Stephany,

It has been an enormous pleasure to work with you and I hope our paths cross no less because you are going back to France. In fact I am in Paris for a few days later this month for a Military Exhibition called Eurosatory, so I will be closer than you think!

I am glad in our little way that HWI members have made your time here special and dare I say it England will miss you too, and so will I.

Take care on your Journey,

Love Steve.

Hi Stephany,
Just had to add my 'fond farewell'.
Thank you for all the hard work you do for HWI, you also do it so quickly.
We have all benefited from this .
I enjoyed meeting you at Buxton and I am sure we will meet again soon.

Thank You,

Graham

Hi Stephany!

Have a nice trip back home. I'm sure you miss family and friends so I hope you will enjoy your holiday in France and New York before your last term in university starts in September.
It was lovely to meet you and I hope see you again this year.

Bon voyage **SPAM? PLEASE REPORT Paris!

Lots of love,
Thomas

Hi Stephany,

It was nice to meet you at Buxton, and I am sure I will see you again at future Hayley concerts. I'm sure you will be missed over here. We will be over in \France next month on holiday, but I doubt we will go into Paris. Take care and all the best for the future. And thanks for all the wonderful work you do for HWI.
Hope to see you again at a future concert. If we see less of you, I'm sure Hayley will miss you too!

Hi Stephany,
Your being in England has made no reduction at all to the distance between Oz & Europe but I am really happy for you for having been able to savour Hayley live.

Also for being able to meet most of the UK "gang". i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

I still think you're wonderful & added to that incredibly competent !!!!

The recent server power outage emphasized to me how outstanding a fansite HWI is.
There are no others like it.....why?.....there is nobody else like our princess.

au revoir Graeme

PS When I saw the title of this thread I thought, Oh no Stephany's leaving this website.....phew !!!! I'm so relieved.
