Photo Article from the Greek Hovel: what are you doing in January?

As you can see I am at the Greek Hovel sorting out various issues at the house and , today, getting my Greek will sorted out. The photos below are of the olive trees and as you can see, as things stand, it looks like a good harvest. God may intervene with a hailstorm or some other disaster but I reckon that with a full team of five we can harvest more than a tonne of olives between January 1 and January 14. So would you like to join myself and reader Tim for all or part of the harvest: there is no pay but free accommodation, hard work and it is fun. Tim is back for his fifth or six year and can testify to that.
