Tractor training....!!

Our activities out in the campo picking olives are limiting our trips beyond Olvera at the moment.

Not that we mind because we are getting the opportunity of some good physical exercise and from various places around some magnificent views of Olvera.

Today, we were working just outside town. The weather was sunny but quite cool in the shade with a slight breeze. I would hazard a guess at temperatures about 10 to 12°C.

After a few minutes instruction, Anne was happily driving the tractor around the olive grove.

This is probably the hardest part of the task....using the "varas" to knock the olives from the trees, helped by the use of a mechanical shaker but it still takes a bit of effort.

The view again of Olvera, one I never get tired of.

Yesterday for a few minutes we did have a few flakes of snow. According to our friend Inma, the snow that has hit northern and central Spain is heading south and she is convinced that we will see some tomorrow in Olvera.

We shall see.
