Just after the previous episode the magnifying glass, we offered to help Bruce with his small orchard. It contains some olive trees and these had ripe fruit ready for picking. As far as I could tell these were black Kalamata olives, albeit a bit small because of the dry season. Anyway we collected half a bucket of the olives which I gather were destined for pickling.
Max was very agile rushing up the step-ladder, balancing a bucket at the top, and then leaning forward to pick the fruit. Bruce and I stayed on terra firma reaching up to the low-hanging branches. The job was done quite quickly but I never saw the production of the pickled product. However, we had olives for dinner that night and I presumed they were local rather than purchased at a supermarket.
