just wanted to say i too love the olive press a d have eaten there for approx 6years but will not be eating there this year as simone is no longer there
I must say that we are great friends with both Simone and George, having stayed with them many times, over many years.
Unfortunately, in life things happen and people move on, even if that puts others in an awkward position.
We feel that we shouldn't really get too involved and will remain neutral and wish both Simone & George all the best for the future,
whatever path that takes them to & what ever the rights and wrongs of what has occurred, as it's their business, not ours.
Naturally we will see George when on Holiday and will not treat him any differently, and expect our usual welcome.
I am sure we will spend an evening at the Olive press as well & yes - - - we will miss Simone of course, but life moves on.
We would also love to see Simone (the kids),and her Mum & Dad again one day, but who knows if this will ever happen.
However, I am sure we will continue to send her a Xmas Card via her Mum (from now on), as we have done for the past 25 years,
likewise we will send one to George as well, which is all I can really say on this.
We respect your choice, we also understand that if some people are more friendly with Simone than George,
that they will make their own decision on how they view it.
