Shadows

Some unpleasantness with our olive pickers, basically trying to take advantage of our ignorance; made me feel quite depressed, not just the lack of trust, but how very much we still have to learn and adapt to, and how much work there is still to do... 

On the other hand, our neighbours have been fantastic, helping and encouraging. And we are going out to another's home in a bit for mulled wine and cakes...

In between supervising the olive pickers, I've been working on the bolts for the window I've restored, trying to get the rust and old brown paint off, think they're ready for painting, and then we can stop using the screwdriver to bolt it closed.
