I thought I'd pop out, sit in @suavecarve's van and let @JJ see how the olives are coming along at Jasmin (y)

In all honesty Jim, I think if the growth rate remains the same as I witnessed you are gonna have to seriously consider a good pruning session !

I'm home this bank holiday weekend, I know a lot of you are away. Please show us where you are by posting a pic of the outside taken from inside your van. Cheers (y)
Whichever way I point my camera, it’s likely to break. I’ve got Paul @Badknee one side, John @golly on the other side and Maurice @old-mo in front

No not old, we bought them as cuttings from the local garden centre last year. They'd be bigger but I think the summer heat here in Sutton on Sea was a bit too much for them (y)

Let me assure you that Jim's Sutton On Sea olive trees are in need of some serious pruning... :whistle:

This season olives are once again beginning to grow on my trees, despite the damage from fire two years ago...

And my peaches are growing plump, sweet and healthy...

Now now Mister Jim Boss... you probably forgot I was a southern girl:whistle:... born in Algeria where olives are added in our bottles from birth:D2!

I don't know if you understand Spanish but this is one of the songs you should know ..... A little bit of the Olive Trees history...

Has it been cold there @JJ, your olives look a little shrivelled for the time of year. I think if we have a cool May bank Holiday ours will be ready to pick very soon (y) . Don't want to pick them if it's too hot.

You might fool all of the Funsters some of the time, or some of the Funsters all of the time, but you won't fool me any of the time, ever... :rofl:

Current MoHo stripped out 6 weeks ago ready for (then) imminent part-ex. New MoHo now 2 months overdue and no sign yet of it being shipped from Germany!!! So having to rough it for a few weeks in our smallish sailboat in the Med. Weather mostly good for the time of year. No surprise that Yotties like the social life and vino.....(perhaps)…..even more than motor-homers and definitely more than Tuggers! We tell our sailing buddies that we have a "Land Yacht" when they ask about the MoHo. Picture of us under sail...….the wind is free, unlike diesel …….. but almost everything else to do with boats is more expensive than motorhomes.
