The day started with breakfasst in the company of Natalie from Argentina. In Scouts since she was five she now leads a Cub pack in Buenos Aries. I told her about members of my family who have been in Patagonia since the end of the Nineteenth Century and who speak only Welsh and Spanish. Sadly, Natalie knew no Welsh! But her English was superb.
On to the first day at the Listening Ear tent on the Ocean Hub. It was a day of quite some activity, turning my hand to carpet laying in the tent that is to become the office, before moving on to holding down a tent about to fly away in the wind.
Good to begin to get to know others in the Listening Ear team.
After a long but good day it was good to meet up with Felicity who had spent the day travelling around with the Guest Services team. Natalie is part of the same team. Felicity is one of four who are the drivers ferrying around special guests.
This was the day that the UK contingent arrived ... and it rained heavily. And the winds blew ... and blew. By the end of the day all the walk ways are running in mud. But all were welcomed and all have settled in. The camping fields are beginning to fill up!
Tomorrow sees the arrival of the remaining 28,000 participants. I cannot begin to imagine how we will cope! It will be wonderful to see everyone here!
That's it for another day.
Every blessing,
Felicity and Richard
