End of harvest.... now what!!


Sorry the Internet is at its usual appalling state, but let us try!!

The harvest has gone really well, we finished about a week ago now, and Ben and I were privileged enough to be the ones to shake the last tree , during the day as well , which was a shock to the system!

All in all, Fini Olives has become a home to us and it has been great working and living on the farm. It is now is showing its added benefits of having the workshop right next door to us, with all the car stuff that we have been up to.

To be honest ,we are now in a way working harder getting the car ready to travel then we were working on the harvest!!

To keep all up to date, we have got a 1988 Nissan Patrol Safari hi top 4x4, it is awesome!! But we are having very annoying and time consuming issues with its electronics to do with the auto! Ben is working night and day on it, as well as fitting a secondary charging system , suspension and lift kit , Bed in the back, roof rack and bull bar!!

But we hope to be leaving for the North with our friends Damo Laura and Pete at the end of this week! ( Pete now has to fit a new engine in to his surf but never mind , minor detail!!!)

I have been promising photos and i am getting on to it, but i promise you we are not sitting on our arses at the mo !!Ha Ha! At the top is a picture from my tractor eye view ( Louise ) of the catcher, Sam in his manatou, my tractor, our Nissan ( no name yet any suggestions would be great!)

Will update with picture .of around the grove and stuff before we leave!

Love to all xxxx.
