Collection Day 2

A bright and early start for day 2.  As we rounded off the evening with a take away kebab in Billericay at my sister and brother-in-law's, the trees we collected yesterday evening stayed in the vehicle overnight.  Paul has taken them to the farm this morning before starting this morning's collections.

We anticipated that 20% of the trees would die - either through customers not reading the care instructions properly, or "just one of those things".  Yesterday's collections showed 2 deaths - "just one of those things".  One tree has come back to us completely dry apparently because a customer didn't read the instructions...  this tree will go into SCTU - the Special Care Tree Unit and hopefully we'll be able to nurse it back to health.  It will be interesting to see if our predictions become reality.
