Well we did pick the Olives in November, not a great yield this year 16.6% due to the heavy rain at the end of September which the olives absorbed. As you can see from the pictures the weather wasn’t great and we had to postpone the start once. We pick and press all the olives in 72 hours to ensure quality so once we’ve started we have to go for it. The usual suspects turned up and we had a few new faces which was nice. As always the highlight is when we stop for refreshments.
The journey up to Lubrin showed the full extent of the damage caused by the floods at the end of September, now we all appreciate the ramblas and what they are for. (A rambla is a usually dry riverbed that takes the flood waters when they come which may be every 20 years) Thanks to Tom for the photos.
