Ray has just brought me 4 big, fat black olives from our (indoor) tree.
So
that's us okay for oil this winter. ;-))

Don't be so ungrateful Sacha. The poor chap realised a partridge in a pear
tree was just too big for the front room-not to mention all the ensuing bird
sh*t.
Tsk tsk. You underestimate my husband! This is the man who, when his
daughter brought an ornament of a rhino home from Africa and placed it on a
windowsill, scattered several currants in an artistic arrangement of little
heaps and trails behind it. He said it was days before anyone noticed.
I'm just a teensy bit amused because olive trees are the 'in thing' atm and
we do get people asking how to harvest and preserve them and if we managed 4
this year after a long hot spell in a greenhouse......... ;-) However, with
global warming, no doubt the laugh will be on........our 20 times removed
successors!
