Finally having more than 30 seconds to open up KCA, browse at what everyone is up to and laugh at a crap joke or two.
Olive harvest took a lot of time and energy this year being our first year pressing our own oil. It meant Paul was taken away from the picking for a big part of the day to run the press which left me to pick all day and provide the tucker to the few family members helping out. I really enjoy the hard, physical work but it’s an intense time and doesn’t leave many spare minutes in a day. My house is so untidy following it all that if we had a burglar, they’d think, oh someone has already been here and beat us to it!
Next up, a couple of days to prepare stock for a market stall at Ciderfest this coming weekend and get a few rows of garlic in before I’m off to have carpal tunnel surgery in both hands (thanks to my full time hairdressing days).
