UK growing olives as well as grapes - as this short video clip I made today shows:-

It's up as a video on my PhotoBucket site - just 2m 46 sec:-

Embedding the link didn't work.

So here's the link - you will need Flash to view it:-

I visited Wroxeter Roman Vineyards last year -- it was raining then as well :)

Well, the old climate change etc certainly is having a big impact on what we can and cannot grow here - olive and lemon trees being among them. But I don't think this year's "summer" would have helped the fledgling trees anywhat! :?
