Another era over for our friends as life moves on

Tweet

Vince finished his working life as a bursar/business manager in a school. A bursar friend retired about the same time Vince did and bought a few acres in Ferguson Valley, Western Australia, not too far from where we lived. He and his wife planted an olive grove and eventually were able to bottle some of their own olive oil. We always thought it would be very satisfying to produce something like this, doing everything from go to whoa with your own hands. His wife also became very involved in felt-making and made some very nice garments and hats. Now, however, they have had to sell their dream as the husband is increasingly frail and looking after the olive trees became too much for him. We have just finished the bottle of olive oil that they were kind enough to give us.
