We went almond picking last week - it was the Day of Pilar - I don't understand the Saints here yet but there are lots and that means days off which we love. Armed with 3 plastic bags we headed off up the hill.
The trees are teeming with almonds at the moment - hard to understand how the Spanish charge 4€ per 200g when they are dropping off in their thousands - except of course when you come to opening them - or figuring out how to open them.
But that's what I love about a simpler life - who needs nutcrackers that pinch the flap of skin between thumb and fingers when you can sit with a socking great big stone in your lap and crack them with a hammer?!
