He has around a thousand of various varieties of Olive trees and told me to come out and collect last years trimmings from the older trees I left soon after and back in the dark now couple of pics on the trailer in the next day or so I will cut some open the varieties are from different countries. He is restoring an XK140 and a mate of mine has 4 different Jaguars including a Mk 4 and XK120 an earlier model than the 140 we have both been invited for a return visit.

The timber could be great or worthless time will tell its looks sound apparently no splits left in the tree rows (intriguing).

Peter.
