It is the most perfect of perfect days…..a cloudless, blameless day.
And Alan, our beloved tail lift driver arrives. Alan – retired now from the University of Reading – helps me each year to set up and set down the excavation. He is invaluable.
Our job today – and for the next 4 days – is to gradually empty all of our various storage barns and university offices of equipment…and to gradually populate our on site town.
