Olive picking in style - Thanks to Sam :)

While Sam @gigiflower was visiting, she told us the correct way to pick olives - champagne, scones & vanilla slice! So of course we did it Sam's way with my sister's one olive tree :)

Thanks Sam @gigiflower - we had a lot of fun :)

Sam was so right. That is the perfect way to pick olives. Great collage

Beautiful triptych. Seems you had great fun. In plantations they spread covers on the ground and shake the trees so that the olives fall down. My brother has an olive tree - he gave us some last year and they were very good.

Look at all those wonderful olives! What fun! I have to say that champagne and cake would make any task grand! Fav!

Looks like you have had a very productive day Denise, what great fun images:)

@sangwann We had the blanket and tried shaking the tree but to no avail :)
@louannwarren Champagne and cake certainly made it a fun task :)
@ludwigsdiana Yes I highly recommend you round up some friends and pick your olives "Sam's way!" :)

[Babs]

We have an olive tree too, but the birds get to them before we do.

[Milanie]

And besides having such a fun day, you got some neat pictures of the fun.

[Rick]

Great shots. Sounds like fun also.

[Louise & Ken]

That's mighty impressive! It made for some beautiful photos, and clearly a delightful time!

[Taffy]

Under those circumstances, it sounds like a wonderful way to spend the day!

One would think that the olive picking was an ulterior excuse for champagne drinking :) Cheers.

[Denise Wood]
