Dear Sam, I have so many wonderful memories of our adventures together; nights out at Uni in Brighton, on holiday in Kos and on holiday in Slovenia.

However the best memories are from our travels together.  4 months and 9 countries! Visiting your brother Simon is LA, Niaomi and Neil in Japan then all round South East Asia. Elephant rides, white-water rafting, mopeds, local festivals and lots of local cuisine. 

You were always so friendly with everyone we met- it’s a shame I didn’t capture that brillant smile in these photos. No matter how much of a social butterfly you seemed, you were at your most relaxed when you were immersed in nature. That and watching fairly trashy films like Miss Congeniality, Road Trip (Britney Spears) or Coyote Ugly!

I so wish I could go on one more adventure with you. Huge hugs, Helen x
