OLIVE HARVEST FINALLY DONE...

Finally we end up picking up all the olives to take to the press... we got 120L out of 910Kg...good deal !!!

I'll just post some pictures and videos for you to watch as there's not much more to say...
...and excuse the poor quality of my camera ...

You can also check here for more on the olive harvest...


Sieglinde defeated her fear of heights picking some olives on the ladder...even on a rainy day...

And here enjoying her stuffed bread...Hmmm, it was delicious...she has been our cook since she came, more than a month ago...this day it was rainy, so she spent the whole day making all sorts of bread... I'm going to miss her...not only for the amazing food she makes, but because she's a wonderful person to be around...she would love to live here one day...but she has children and grandchildren to come and she wants to be close... she had to leave us today...

 
Take a look at the amazing and beautiful work that Sieglinde and Elena did on our prayer shelter...

I was simply amazed with such love and dedication...they did it on the week I was away for my birthday...what a lovely gesture from both of them...thank you "abuelitas"... 

Now some videos...some are a bit long, but it's cool because it explains all the process both for olive oil making and also what is the process to actually eat the olives...

If you want to have a detailed explanation on how the olives are pressed, you can also go here  to this post I wrote 2 years ago on the same press in Sobral do Campo...
o.k,here we go with the videos...my last tree to harvest...

O.k, I guess this can't hold any more videos, so I might need to post them in separate posts...but not today as it's getting dark already, and I'm freezing here outside the village Hall in Póvoa de Atalaia...

( here I have a plug and wireless... very useful)
I hope you enjoyed it !!! I actually like this video stuff...I guess I got it from the winter ´s blog...

well, soon more...I hope...
