Saturday strim


MrFF continues his early starts, he is now strimming the orchard and lightly pruning the olives which are setting fruit.


Even at 6 am the heat is building so it’s a daunting job but after the delights of all the wild flowers I’m now enjoying the tidy spaciousness and of course we are much safer if we are unfortunate enough to have wild fires so I’m grateful for his hard work.

By 10.30 he has to stop for a shower, brunchie breakfast and to retire to this lovely place to spend a shady afternoon.

Our lovely 88 year old neighbour Giovanni is also busy with his strimmer, he too starts early but doesn’t have quite the same routine as we hear him start again early evening when we are thinking about dinner.  Giovanni does have a lot more land than us, and it seems a lot more stamina.

  2. I guess Giovanni was born to it so it is in his blood

  3. Good to have some shade in the afternoon after a morning out under the sun!

  4. I'm not sure I could cope with all that heat! Even lying down in it might prove too much! Keep cool. xx
