Ramblings of a retiree in France
12 days of Christmas 2021: day 3
March’s photo is of the olive orchard in the Domaine. Volunteers (residents) pick the olives and they are sent to a local mill which turns them into that wonderful golden elixir Olive Oil. This harvest usually contributes a healthy sum towards the cost of maintaining our wonderful grounds which I started to fully investigate in last year’s first lockdown and have continued to enjoy.
Today’s Christmassy track is a Classic – Mariah Carey‘s All I want for Christmas is You.

Olive trees don’t grow too high and they get pruned back every 2 years

Great picture Sheree! Looks like a sizable orchard, must take a while to gather all those olives.😀😺

I’ve never volunteered because I don’t have the time. I guess it dépends on a number of variables but it usually takes place across a werk or two
