Aide

We need some help with the olive picking and we have some small projects during the year.
Olive picking here is, we sit or stand around a big net and with a fork looking tool scrape along the twigs. 1 person saws the branches off and brings them to net.
It is much more fun with more people. Also the trees are just outside of town one of us has to stay with my mother. With extra hands we could take turns staying with her and cook lunch.
