About the author and the photos



The Author

I am Catherine Nelson-Pollard, a British freelance writer (see my website for published work and more info).

This blog came about, because after six years of living here and being asked many questions about Nyon, I decided the next logical step was to create a site based on my knowledge and the advice given to me.

My other blog is called the The Perpetual Expatriate which comments on life in Switzerland. As I mention in my intro, I haven't tried to reinvent the wheel on this site and list lots of info, there are plenty of other places I suggest you look at, all with excellent resources.

Please note also that although the facts were checked when I started the blog, things could well have changed by the time you log on here, so the usual disclaimers apply. I am writing this blog purely on a voluntary basis (and usually late at night) so errors and typos can creep in !

The Photos

The photos on this site are all mine and are all scenes from around Nyon and its area.

If you want to use anyof them, send me an email. You never know, depending which photo it is, I might just oblige, especially if you ask nicely.

Thanks for taking a look at this site. If you feel it has helped you or if I have missed anything, then let me know. I welcome feedback.

Dear Catherine,
Being Swiss-German, I very much appreciate your articles in English in the "La Côte" (a softer version of "A year in the merde") and yr site is fun and useful, just a perfect alternative ... Looking forward to meeting other English speakers at the "Bibliothée" on June 4th ;-))

Thanks for pulling this information together. The train times SMS tip is worth its weight in gold. Thanks!
