Wwoofers weekly






A quick update on our week with Lauren and Luca...pictures taken of Luca picking olives from the tree in the front garden, the first Sunday afternoon when we went for a walk to Yator, Lauren picking olives on Monday, transferring the olives from the net to a bucket, loading the car to take to the mill on Tuesday (237kgs), outside the caravan on Wednesday after work when they had picked some eating olives and are getting them ready for soaking in brine, cleaning the leaves from the net after picking at the end of Thursday afternoon and lastly a view across the 'breakfast-orange-juice' tree towards Sierra Gador with some snow on the top still.

We took another 245 kgs down to the mill this morning and have picked about 130 kgs more today. We all ache in strange places but are getting fitter and have lovely soft hands!!

They have chosen to stay in the caravan so they have more privacy and have created a cosy home for themselves - it's now called The Love Shack. (for those that don't know, that's the title of a song)

Problems with uploading pics tonight.. hopefully better tomorrow.
