Tuscany #05
Olive tree
Olive trees are pruned so that their branches hang downwards. The main trunk is often cleft in two, so that it will hang down.
The tree recovers from the damage, the branches hang down like a hand opened up to the heavens.
This allows for easy picking of the olives, it prevents one branch getting too high and over time the tree branches almost follow the shape of the outside of a pudding bowl.
Oh my.
Thought you’d like this place!

San Martino is a 5 bedroom villa is between San Gimignano, Volterra and Gambassi in Tuscany. The villa is set in 100 acres of woodland, olive groves and vineyards and produces stunning oil and will be making wine in the on coming season.
This photograph shows the villa standing at the highest point, over looking the larger olive fields and the paddocks for the horses that will be rehabilitated here as the paperwork is sorted

Pocket Power the Retired Champion
Pocket Power was an absolute phenomenon in South Africa, winning most of the best races in the country.
He retired as a race horse and began a relaxed life under the guidance of Belinda.
She jumps him and events him and he is as amazing and special a retired racehorse as he was a superstar racehorse
Pocket Power a legend.
