Title: Re: Olive mills
Post by Bulldog on Dec 8th, 2012 at 3:06pm
Many thanks all. Arrived on finca after Place in the Sun ( hit man hired to track down the producer as he said olives worth thousands of euros ) First year here started to gather the olives, hand picking. Visions of new Merc. car/yacht ( don't know why can't sail or swim ) Then met my first snake fell out the tree end of olive picking for first year. This year after much persuasion/harassment then downright violence from her indoors started olive picking again to keep other half happy. Much pain and suffering and many sacks later, the hunter gatherer left the shack on the hill with head held high, talking to myself on colour of new Merc. car with a chest full of British pride now having put Italy out of olive oil production and willing to bargain on the fast sum of money I was willing to except for my top quality olives. Imagine my utter shock when mill owner said NO to olives and go. Had a hissy fit all the way back to the shack on the hill. So over a cup of tea and 3 digestives with a demented look on my face armed with axe and saw I thought to hell with olive farming and up with the lumber jacking.
Yours a some what poorer but wiser Bulldog.
