Foxtrot Three make their home in the Nilgiri Mountains

Time to pose between digging fence post holes

I've been very fortunate to spend the last 6 days with Foxtrot Three out in Tamil Nadu where they are building a solar panel fence in the Nilgiri Mountains. They've made excellent progress and are so high spirited they manage to punctuate the day frequently with lots of singing.

So far they've cleared the ground, dug lots of holes and erected and cemented most of the fence posts but besides building the fence they've managed to create themselves a very good home including an oven that requires only a few finishing touches. If all goes to plan they will soon be churning out pizza's, bread, cakes and other tasty treats.


 

Any excuse for a party Foxtrot 3 decided to celebrate their videographer's farewell with a jungle animal themed party.  There was face paint, costumes, music, singing, games and prizes.
