Harvest times

Today I went up to my Koumbara, my best and first Cretan lady friend since 1977, to see her and her daughter and her granddaughter.

I'd left the bus a stop earlier than I should and thus walked along the valley with olive groves where often people worked in harvesting the olives; that is combing them from the branches down onto those nets, from where they are shuffled down into one heap and then put into a sack, what will weigh some 50 kilos when filled. In the etra another Olives reaping foto.... quite a job to comp them down from those high branches! 

Sweetheart isn't decided yet, whether he'll have his olives harvested or not; I hope he will, coz I like this harvest work, all alone I'd not manage, but together with some one else, it's good work. Sweetheart himself doesn't manage this work anymore.
