Extra Virgin - amongst the olive groves of Liguria |
This is an affectionate account of how Annie Hawes and her sister found themselves buying and living in a small house just outside the village of Diano San Pietro. The humour is often self-deprecating so that we see these English females through the eyes of their often nonplussed Italian neighbours. Lots about food and cooking, growing and harvesting olives, revealing not just an idyllic world but one now faced with the realities of the EEC.
