Day 1-Don't fence me in!

It's great to be back! As one of the volunteers from last year's dig, I had been quietly hoping that GGAT would get the funding for another few weeks' worth of digging. Although the weather wasn't promising on the first day (it hardly ever seems to be) it was good to meet up with old friends from last year's dig, but not to realise that I am getting so much older than the increasingly young-looking students. As the fencing failed to materialise on the first day, we didn't exactly get much done, but the spirit was willing though the flesh was weak.
