Another year another failed Olive Harvest

Well here it is 2012 and June bought us another lesson from Mother Nature, Draught this year, 3 weeks before Harvest almost all the fruit/olives fell from the trees. This was the first time the trees had not received one single drop of water from us. NO WATER IN THE DAM AT ALL.

On a happier note since March we have been hosting young people from around the world under the Wwoofer scheme Willing Workers on Organic Farms. Young people who are traveling the world come and stay with a host and for food and board they lend a hand with all the work that needs doing around here.
We have had Andy from Canada, Ian from the UK, Laura from the UK, Miranda from Taiwan, Jen, Kate, Claire and Dana also from the UK, Saila and Carolina from Finland, Hazel from Hong Kong and Kana from Japan.
And as we are having our wettest Spring in 5 years it has been a great help and keeps us all busy.
