Olives '11

My blogs posts are like buses- you wait ages for one, and then three come along at once!!
I've been (quite rightly!) nagged by a few people to keep up with the blogging- so I promise to make more of an effort and post less erratically!!

Sooooooooo here we are again- with the olive harvest- its' just come around oh so quickly!!! The weather has been terrible recently- very stormy so we have lost a few on the floor but otherwise the harvest is looking fairly good!

 A break in the weather meant we could have a fantastic day picking in the autumn sunshine. These are the days we treasure- and what being here on this old quinta is all about.

We've had some help from Ish- as she is here at the moment- tempted her with a roast duck dinner and a couple of tankards full of black velvet- how could she refuse!!
