LIVE, OLIVE....

Off to glorious Umbria for the weekend, to pick olives with a highly-entertaining group of people.
And here I am in a shot which made feel feel as if I was taking part in a rural cookery programme!



Only four of these crates were filled this year (we had eleven last year), since weather conditions meant a sparse crop.Next they will go off to be pressed and turned into rich olive-oil.



Fresh air, simple physical work and al fresco lunches (in November!) made me feel deliciously relaxed.What has made you feel relaxed recently?
