Happy Holidays, dear readers

ByCarol

This is a very brief blog to let you know that the Title Sequence for the five Olive Route films is now up on the website.

The French versions of the films have been delivered to the various French-speaking networks who have been waiting for them. So, also for the German ZDF/Arte network. When we have dates for transmission in those territories, I will post them.  Rai in Italy have received their copies and will be translating into Italian after Christmas for their network screenings. The English version is being completed now and I sincerely hope will be available in early January. I hope to show a few clips during my talks at the France Show in Earls Court from 18 – 20th January (please check the Events link=
to find out more details on times for my talks etc). I really look forward to seeing some of you there.

The films will all be available for purchase through olivefarmbooks@gmail.com



So, now , it is Christmas. Time to pause, to reflect. The weather at the farm is mild and dry and I am looking forward to long walks with the dogs and some hard or even light work on the land. I want time out in the fresh air and a little peace and quiet amongst the olive trees.



Whatever your religious allegiance, wherever you are, I wish you peace. I hope that 2013 will bring you good friends to keep you company, a little work to feed you and, above all, good health.



Thank you for the stacks of messages and Christmas greetings. I really appreciate them and I will try to answer them over the holidays.



Abrazos, bises, hugs,



Carol

The Ritz

“When I dream of an afterlife in heaven, the action always takes place at the Ritz, Paris.” Ernest Hemingway wrote. I wonder whether he would offer the same opinion today, or perhaps he would consider some of the latest episodes in this new era of the Ritz as definitely worthy of a novel. I am…

Marching for women’s rights

Last Saturday, the 21st January 2017, I met up with a couple of friends alongside the Apollo Fountain  in the impressive Place Massena in Nice. We, along with about seventy others, were gathering to march. We were marching – each of us perhaps for slightly different reasons – against Donald Trump and Mike Pence’s position…

Last Week in Paris

I spent last week in Paris. Whilst there, I attended an evening screening of one the OLIVE ROUTE films. The film in question is  The Olive Tree in the Holy Land.  Our audience was university students and I was a little concerned that perhaps such a subject would not be of interest to a younger…

Last night, while I was watering the land, I watched a small flock of ring-necked turtle doves gorging themselves on fruits in the fig tree, which have ripened very early this year. There were other birds feeding off the grapevines. A large toad crossed the driveway and paused to study me with bulging eyes. I…
