No nyt on todella syksyn värit saapuneet ja joka puolella puut, viiniviljelmät, vuoret ja ovat saanettu upean väriviitan. Muutama viikko sitten olimme lomailemassa Välimeren risteilyllä ja reissun aikana vierailimme useissa upeissa paikoissa, Triestessä, Splitissä, Kotorissa, Kefalloniassa, Korfulla, Dubrovnikissa, Venetsiassa ja palasimme takaisin Triesteen. Risteilystä lisää myöhemmissä postauksissa.
Viime kuussa perinteisesti lehmät saatettiin talveksi alas vuorilta ja kotitiloille (Desalpé) niin Sveitsissä kuin Ranskassa. Tänä vuonna kävin ensimmäistä kertaa katsomassa tapahtumaa Ranskan puolella kauniissa Annecyssä ja se oli oikein mukava tapahtuma, hieman erilainen kuin Sveitsin puolella järjestettävät. Kävimme koulun porukan kanssa perinteisellä Geneve-kierroksella ja tällä kertaa saimmekin kuulla mukavia tarinoita ja eläviä legendoja, tutuista paikoista sekä tietenkin pääsimme pistämään Geneven symbolin Jet d’Eaun päälle.
Olen tässä viettänyt hieman blogi-hiljaisuutta sillä painin tällä hetkellä kiperän kysymyksen kanssa jatkaako bloggailua? vai ei? Juttuja olisi repussa vaikka kuinka paljon, mutta kirjoittaminen on viime aikoina ollut hieman vaikeaa sekä olen pitkään kamppaillut tietokoneen ja ohjelmien kanssa, tarttis vähän softatukea…
No tässä kuitenkin hieman myöhässä tämän kuun tapahtumia ja kun vertaan niitä viime vuoteen, niin aika samalta lista näyttää, eli messuja sekä loppukuusta alkavat joulun markkinat. Itseäni kiinnostaisi kovasti St. Martin-tapahtuma sekä sipulimarkkinat!
Marraskuu
Jos olet syntynyt marraskuussa,
olet skorpioni tai jousimies.
Näin nyt tarinoi Uppo-Nalle,
joka kaiken taivaan merkeistä ties.
Eivätkä menneet sen puuhat pommiin,
kun se ryhtyi horoskooppihommiin.

Five competitive sections enforce the discovery of new talents, while the out-of-competition programme (Nuits blanches, Focus, Retrospective, Grandes Premières, etc.) celebrates - in picture and music - the diversity and wealth of audio-visual arts.

10.11 ti, Vevey, Saint-Martin Fair
Every year, each second Tuesday in November, Vevey celebrates Saint-Martin. This local tradition dating back to the Middle Ages was initiated by the Dukes of Savoy, with the fair allowing all residents in the Leman area to become a trader for the day without being subject to tax on their earnings.
As a festival aimed at promoting sharing and solidarity, but also the opportunity to find some bargains and for the labourers working the land, the plains, the mountains and the vineyards to meet up, for the locals, good Saint-Martin marks the beginning of an abundant winter and a festival for celebrating high spirits.
Nowadays, the Saint-Martin Fair has become a traditional autumn event in Vevey. Traders and customers alike attend in ever greater numbers amidst a warm and convivial atmosphere. As well as the traditional nonnette spiced buns, there are many culinary delights on offer, including spit-roast beef.

25.11 ke, Geneva, Swahn Lake-ballet
Théâtre du Léman Genève / ex-Grand Casino 8 pm
The story of Swan Lake is woven around two girls, Odette and Odile, who resemble each other so closely they can easily be mistaken for the other. Originally their roles were entrusted to two separate dancers, but as there is only one brief fleeting moment when they are seen simultaneously, it has long been customary for a single prima ballerina to perform both parts, differentiating them by characterisation and general style. The action takes place in Germany in the distant past. Ballet from Kiev Theatre.

27.11 pe - 31.12 to Strasbourg Christmas market
Today’s Christmas market is heir to the “Christkindelsmärik", which was first recorded in 1570. Initially located next to the cathedral, this market sold everything necessary for the Advent celebrations.
Four centuries later, the delicate balance between this tradition and a constant search for novelty still makes Strasbourg Christmas Market a success: around 2 million visitors every year, 5 weeks of celebrations, 300 chalets spread across 11 sites (all reachable on foot), 500 events... and a big Christmas tree nearly 30 metres tall!
A successful blend of traditional celebration and major cultural event, “Strasbourg, the Christmas capital" also remains unique thanks to the exceptional setting of the Grande île de Strasbourg, a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988.
