GF has left the building

Thursday was a strange day. Gorse Fox loaded the car with doughnuts, cakes, biscuits and other sugary products - the assumption was that a) a lot of people would need sugar after the previoous night's entertainment; and b) it's the traditional way to say Goodbye. He just may have got the estimating model for sugary comestibles wrong... as by the end of the day there was still a significant mountain of calories nestling in the corner of the office.

Various reviews consumed the morning - and then there was team meeting where the Abbot announced that he too was leaving at the end of next week, and took the opportunity to introduce his replacement. He then gave a vary nice farewell speech for the Gorse Fox and then there was a lovely presentation. This included some engraved glasses from "Spur 0" engraved with "Gorse Fox @ Spur 0" and "Silver Vixen @ Spur 0", and a very excellent bottle of Scotch (which GF tested last night).

As the afternoon wore on GF started a round of goodbyes - forgetting quite how many people he knew! There are many people there that GF will genuinely miss, but he's leaving them in good hands and is sure that his colleagues will maintain GF's vision of what's needed.
