Pruning the Olives........



A job long overdue.   
 One on either side of the pool, the trees had grown so much in the past four or is it five years now since the pool was built,  that given another year or two they would  meet in the middle and completely cut out the sun. 
  
Whilst it is quite desirable to have some shade from the mid day sun, it’s probably even more so to let the sun heat up the water and put off the swimming until later in the day.
So, let the pruning commence……


No, this wasn't meant to happen.....




Oooops!

It could look a whole lot worse........



This morning the Olive tree was taller than the house next door......


Tomorrow is another day.......and there's the clearing up to look forward to.
