Quite contrary to my rather romanticised expectations, olive picking is slow, laborious and extremely itchy. It took us an hour and a half to pick one tree. No wonder you see some people in the country pruning and picking at the same time; then they can at least sit down and do it. Other people, though, have step ladders and all sorts of paraphenalia - not to mention the whole family from grandma down to the smallest tots. Watching others is far more enjoyable than doing it.
