we did another 4 sacks on Saturday morning - probably about 120 kgs - and are going down to get them cleaned and weighed in the morning. Some of the trees are laden, accessible on flat land and easy to harvest. first we pick the ones within reach, then Luca and John go up the tree with sticks to knock off the top olives and Lauren and I do the same from the ground. She likes tree climbing too but not as high as they go!
Trying again with the remaining pictures from Fridays post - hopefully they'll load today.
We have had a day off today, went to market this morning and did loads of washing this afternoon which has all dried in the sun. The weather is now as we expect at this time of the year - blue skies and sunshine.
We had 8 of us here for dinner last night, 1 Spanish neighbour, 3 English friends, 1 Italian (Luca) 1 American (Lauren) and the 2 of us. Quite a mixture, but good practice for our language skills. Luca also speaks Spanish having spent 8 months in Tarragona.
Off to do a Roast Beef dinner, Lauren is having a lesson in Yorkshire pudding making tonight.
