Final Olive Tree Blogging image of the year, as always click on the image to make it bigger. The owl in this picture was bought from my friends Sarah and Miles, former Zimbabwe farmers who have retreated under pressure to the safety of the South of France. The bird is made by impoveished Zimbabweans and buying them helps the third world via trade not aid. You can contact them to buy other birds via their website - Zimbirds.com This image brought from the archives since I'm still in Japan.
