With Masai Mick enjoying a three week sojurn in Costa Rica, one trainee doing the same in Sri Lanka, yet another trainee carrying out extensive building repairs and yours truly recovering from a fall on the ice which put my recovery from a knee replacement operation back several weeks, the number of troops available for the annual ride clearance and scrub bash at Stanford has been severely depleted in recent weeks - or so you would have thought but our ever-resourceful Head Chef press-ganged her neighbours into turning out in the cold and rain to assist. So many thanks to Sue and Malc for all their efforts.
