Mark standing in the curtain sider truck OMT sent the machines, which had to stop at our gate as it was too long to get up to the house.
Our new olive press came from the OMT S.p.a factory in Florence. We just got it installed in time for our harvest – though actually a few days later than we would have preferred from the point of view of the best time to pick the olives, and do that before the wild pigs ate our olives.
We had to hire a Manitou to unload the machines from the truck and trundle them down the track to the house, all in the pouring rain.
But there was a huge amount of work to do in the hangar and workshop to get it ready to receive the machines.
The machines finally parked just inside the hangar at the end of a long and wet day!
