The Abbot to the Gorse Fox to The Glass House for dinner. It was very nice suitably up-market for "last supper"... the Abbot also planning to leave Worcester at the end of next week. A fine fish soup that almost had a gel-like quality was a good choice of starter, and then some pan-fried hake on a bed of spinach with a crab risotto was a perfect main dish - all accompanied by a fine wine. Superb meal, which was followed by a return to the Cardinal's Hat.
The triumphant farewell gig of Cardinal Sin and The Bum Notes was a brilliant event - dedicated, it should be noted, to the Gorse Fox and his own farewell to Worcester after 4 years and 9 months. All proceeds from the evening were collected for the Noah's Ark Trust which cares for bereaved children.
Throughout the evening the audience were able to partake of various libations and it was great fun - and well-attended by colleagues and friends old and current... as well as a good helping of complete strangers. The Gorse Fox was horrified when he heard "Who is Bob Seger? I've never heard of him". (Children just aren't getting the education they should - and GF blames it on their parents as well as the schools - and maybe he should look for his next contract in the Department for Education to sort this out). GF digresses. The band did a great job and everone had fun... GF was horrified to realise it was nearly one in the morning before he headed back to the hotel but chuffed to bits that it had been such fun.

So it's farewell to these parts for business, but one hopes not for social or recreational calls. I hope the project has been and remains a success.
It is farewell... but the Gorse Fox is sure there will be some return visits for both business and pleasure.
