Post field trip beer

The group of students that came with me to go surface sampling on Wednesday (the ones on the picture) were really enthusiastic. They were a nice team! And they decided that they should go and celebrate the end of the field work on the Saturday after. And they created a WhatsApp group to organise that. And put me on it as well. That was sweet of them! And they made sure I knew I was explicitly welcome with them in the pub.

I know that during the day, I would be on a hilltop, probably freezing my bum off. But I could join them afterwards. 

It had been horrible weather on the hill, it was horrible weather in the valley. I drove. I had had enough time getting soaked!

I only found four of the students: two of the little groups, minus one student who had had to work. And no other staff. We still had a nice evening! And it is quite funny that they chose the exact same pub and the exact same card game as a similar bunch of students from the same fieldwork had done two years ago. Last year, no pub night was organised. 

Soon we will all be in the grind of the new academic year. But now it was nice to just relax a bit over a pint!
