Day 2-Where, o where have my fence panels gone..?

The weather is picking up. Time to crack out the sunglasses and put away the umbrellas, after all, only in the United Kingdom do you need to carry both! The fencing STILL hasn’t arrived (as of 3:30pm), and it is looking like we wont get the chance to set up site before the day is over, let alone start to dig anything. Instead the only thing to do is dither around in the heat and attempt to look like we are doing something productive, while the students and volunteers are shown the ropes and ‘tricks’ of the ‘trade’. Keeping fingers crossed that we can all get our teeth into some digging tomorrow!
