We had to have the morning off today as it was too wet - so we spent a useful day running errands and visiting the Dean's Shortbread Visitor Centre in Huntly (highly recommend the rice krispie creams). The weather turned for the better and we headed to site to find a treasure trove of cakes waiting for us in our site tent!! We have no idea who our cake fairy is - but if you are reading this, thank you! We got lots done today even with our morning off. We'll try to post another kite photo later today, too, for a full update on the trench.
Oh - and a correction - we want to give a 'shout out' to Steve, who was one of our volunteers yesterday (and hopefully this weekend!) whose name we couldn't find. And a note from Ewan that our glass droplet is not diagnostic enough to give us a date (darn!).
Time for a mouth-watering dinner provided by Sheila & John at the Gordon Arms and then we are back out to record a really amazing section in a local garden, which fortuitously decided to show up and have archaeology in it whilst we were here digging.
