Friday 14 Dec
Because of the potential dispute over
ownership of the olive trees we have been reluctant to take any action. But it is a fantastic year for olives, and
heartbreaking to see ours falling wastefully to the ground.
We seriously considered buying some more olive nets, but the proper ones
come on a 4 x 20 metre roll from Lefkas town – which would droop out of the
back of the van and scrape along the road.
I got as far as buying a roof-rack
for the Punto, but then I couldn’t afford the nets. So, we set to work to pick the remaining
olives: Dave using our old nets, moved from tree to tree, while thwacking with
a stick, and I did the ‘yia-yia’ (grandmother) job of picking fallen ones from
the ground one by one. Here's my bucket after the first half hour - a slow process!
Then we went out for the evening to see Robbie and Sue
in gold lamé at the premier of their latest blockbuster – ‘Titanic II, the second sinking’ Look for it on YouTube.
