Then you might like to know about two groups of English speaking mothers in the Nyon area. The first is a group of mothers who met for the first time last week through this site Living in Nyon. They linked up through the Mamicafé link (see right hand side of this site) and then in person when one of the mums kindly hosted a coffee morning for everyone.. That morning there were quite a few mums who are new arrivals to Switzerland so it was a great opportunity for everyone to ask questions about living here. If you have just arrived in the area and are a mum or even if you have been her a while then check out Mami Café and join up, it's free! Members can post questions on the discussion board too. The other group of Mums is a group called "Mums in Vaud", they have a site with an active membership and they meet up from time to time.. Here is the link The founder of the group Michelle Eriksson (in photo to left) has kindly agreed to answer any questions about child related issues for Living in Nyon on the Mamicafé site and via email. She and another mum, a Living in Nyon reader will also be writing the occasional article with useful information on child related issues, playgroups, places to take children etc. More on this in a couple of weeks.

There have been many new companies and organisations which have recently moved into the area and quite a few of them have moved into the new A1 business park in Rolle, just a few miles from Nyon. With a view of the vineyards from the offices facing north, and a view of the lake for those in the south facing buildings this looks like a good place to go to work and do business. Chiquita, Honeywell, Nissan, Adm, Nunomyx, Yahoo,PPG industries, UBS and Deppeler, SC Johnson and Carefusion are all housed in this modern business area. There's a bus stop right outside the centre and a mobility car area too (the car sharing service, see previous post titled "Needs Wheels in Nyon?" about this very useful service) and the centre itself is right in the centre of the wine growing areas of La Côte and has its own restaurant managed by DSR the Swiss catering company.

If you are wandering around Nyon this Easter weekend, look out for the decorated fountains. They are an annual tradition in the town. Decorated by local groups and associations, they are always a popular attraction. The local butcher's shop in the centre of the high street, (the photo directly below) also has an Easter display this year. To all Living in Nyon readers. Happy Easter! Down by the Rive yesterday in Nyon, the weather was (just about) warm enough for an ice cream . Check out the small but interesting photo exhibition by photographer Bertrand Reyon Burma at the Focale gallery. Exhibition on until 13 April.

Amongst the bikes, boots and black leather jackets of a Gland motor cycle shop, Longirock, the "one off " rock festival revealed the full line up last Wednesday for its three day festival in May. Big names feature on the programme such as The Scorpions, Skunk Anansie, Gogol Bordello and Juliette Lewis, to other bands such as Katatonia from Sweden and Ensiferum from Holland. Thursday is a night mainly for heavy metal fans with bands such as Arch Enemy and Down from the U.S.A both performing. There will be three stages for the festival, a main stage, a smaller one, and a stage just for Swiss artists such as Estaverde from Vevey and Josef of the Fountain from Nyon and area. Ticket sales are going well and there is still a special guest to be announced for the opening night. Longirod is a tiny village of just 400 inhabitants high up in the Jura above Nyon, so public transport has been arranged to the venue and car sharing is being encouraged. There will be two hectares of land for camping on site. The festival organisers are conscious of the natural beauty of the area around Longirod, and are working with the local farmers and residents to ensure that the nature is left as it was found. Living in Nyon spoke to the mayor of Longirod Monsieur Eric Chesaux who said he was delighted with this new venture. He knows that a lot of work has gone into it by the organisers and he just hopes the weather stays fine for the three days of rocking!

Here is a summary of the "Swiss Politics for Dummies" evening event held at the Ferme du Manoir in Nyon in January. This was written by John Tracey who lives in Coinsins and who amongst the audience that night. "Swiss politics for Dummies" Does living in and around Nyon engender low self esteem ? How amazing that a hundred of us freely flocked to declare ourselves publicly to be a dummy at this excellent event on January 28th. Reality is that we were all there under false pretences and were very wise to have come out that evening and return home even wiser. If Swiss Politics doesn’t turn you on, you certainly haven’t heard Jordan Davies’ scintillating synopsis which, in his inimitable light-hearted way, paints a clear – even attractive – picture helping us all make sense of it. You’d immediately recognise Jordan from World Radio Switzerland 101.7 FM. His grasp of international politics and the Swiss structure was as enlightening as entertaining. Our political system reflects Switzerland’s diversity in language, culture and geography. The basic precepts of the people’s sovereignty, direct democracy and leading by consensus has devolved Swiss political power into today’s three tier structure; Federal, Cantonal and Communal. Each level operates on the same principle of an elected executive, broad-based council and is tempered by the individual authority of the electorate. Federal Council comprises of Seven members The Federal Council comprises seven members of equal status who each serve as President for a year on a rotational basis. While this has the advantage of avoiding ‘personality politics’ prevalent in other countries, it can yield slower legislation since the traditional drive is to seek agreement, understand and respect others’ positions. It also fosters a sense of decorum and politeness in government/politics (“being nice to each other !”) – somewhat unusual in modern day democracies…. Interestingly, recent attempts to change (modernise ?) this way of operating failed in favour of retaining fundamental consensus. The next level of national legislative is the Federal Assembly split into two Chambers, the Council of States and the National Council. A similar structure is found at the cantonal level, with the elected executive State Council and more rank and file Grand Council, and in the communes, the Municipal and Communal Councils. On this local level, we were treated to an impressive array of councillors encouraging us to feel free to get involved. We enjoyed brief presentations from some of Nyon’s cream originally hailing from New Jersey, Newcastle, the Nederlands and even Nyon. Our entertaining evening culminated in a gracious endorsement of the base message to get integrated and involved from Nyon’s Municipal Councillor Elisabeth Ruey-Ray. She praised and thanked Catherine Nelson-Pollard for her excellent work in promoting understanding and integration and went on to win unanimous acclamation by pronouncing the much-loved traditional invitation - - “au Carnotzet !”

There was a steady drizzle yesterday at the Easter Market in Nyon, yet despite this, the stall holders made a big effort to inject some colour into the day, with interesting and bright coloured products on sale. In particular was the stall that sold soft shoes for children and adults, bright bags with funky designs, hats, cases for storing glasses and flower decorations for the house, all made out of super soft felt. The owner of the stall Ulziibat, is from Mongolia and she her partner Hartig Alexandre, travel to Nepal and Mongolia to bring back the soft felts from both countries to make into bright products here in Switzerland. Nyon is one of the towns "Modern Nomad" (the name of her stall) visits, along with other venues across the region. To find out where they are next visiting call 076 278 0818 At the market on Sunday there was also the more traditional Easter goods on display, from the decorated fountain by the Maitre Jacques to the stalls selling decorations for Easter including a stall selling plates with the names of various Swiss cheeses hand painted on them.

When there are tens of thousands of football fans all waiting for the referee's decision in an important match, wouldn't it be interesting to listen in to what the ref is saying to his colleagues, to hear the process of the decision making on an crucial point? Thanks to a film (Les Arbitres- Kill the Referee) due to be screened at the upcoming Visions du Réel documentary film festival in Nyon, film goers will be able to listen in to these all important conversations via the personal microphones of the referees on the field filmed during the Euro 2008 championships. They also get to see the sheer solitude of the referee amongst the crowd. "Les Arbitres" will be followed by a debate in the presence of Swiss referee Massimo Busacca. This film will be shown on Monday 19th April at 20:00 in the Théatre de Marens in Nyon. This theatre is a new space for film screenings at the festival (see map). Previously it was called the Aula du Collège de Nyons-Marens. At the moment the theatre area is being revamped and refurbished and will be ready to take up to 500 spectators. This should go a long way to ease the problem the festival has previously encountered of not enough venues to see the films and demand for seats exceeding supply. Free navette buses will be provided from the centre of Nyon to the Théatre de Marens. "Spoilt for choice" Les Arbitres is one amongst a wide selection of films scheduled for the festival. At the press conference last Tuesday Mr Jean Perret announced they had been spoilt for choice in choosing films amongst the 2,000 that had been submitted to the festival, a record number. Many films will be making their world premiere at this festival and some of these will be entered into the various competition categories. Other highlights in the festival include workshops and film screenings by renowned documentary maker Alan Berliner from New York and Wu Wenguang from China. There will also be screenings by the video work of British artist Tracey Emin and she is scheduled to be present here in Nyon for a debate on her work on Saturday 17th April . As ever there are an interesting selection of documentary films on the programme for this year. Such as "Beyond this Place" Read the synopsis below (taken from the Docmine site) "Stoned for 40 Years" is how Cloud Rock La Belle describes his life. Taking drugs and intense cycling are the only things to which Cloud has remained faithful throughout his life. Now his son, Kaleo La Belle, challenges his eccentric father to a bike trip. Cycling through the Pacific Northwest, Kaleo questions his father's search for truth and demands justification for his absence in his life. "Beyond This Place" explores Kaleo and Cloud Rock's failed father and son relationship and questions whether the hippie concept of freedom ultimately failed." You can see a trailer here The film chosen to open the festival on the 15th April is "Kinshasa Symphony " this film "shows how people living in one of the most chaotic cities in the world have managed to forge one of the most complex systems of human cooperation ever invented: a symphony orchestra. It is a film about the Congo, about the people of Kinshasa and about music" (Synopsis taken from the film's own website) As ever Living in Nyon will be there reviewing the films and updating you on latest festival news. The programme with full timings of screenings will be published shortly for the public. Don't forget this festival has many films that are either screened in English, or have simultaneous translations in English or subtitles in English.

Latest news - April 1st Caribana first night Wed 9 June now sold out! (this is not an April fool's joke) Comfort at Caribana The Caribana music festival, due to take place at Crans sur Nyon from 9-13 June, has revealed its full line up of performers for the five day music fest by the lake. On the agenda are Deep Purple, Madness, Hell's Kitchen, Sum 41, Micky Green, Faithless, Yodelice, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour, Sean Paul, Mama Rosin* Polar, Thomas Dybdahl, Neil Halstead and many more bands and singers, plus a special guest still to be announced. A still lake by the Caribana pitch last week This year Caribana celebrates its 20th birthday and to mark the big occasion, the organisers have decided to put the emphasis on comfort for the festival goers. There will be fewer tickets sold to provide more space on the pitch; there will be a series of "unplugged" concerts within a quiet area called Scène de la Plage, right on the lake side; and the concerts on the different stages will be timed so each group's music doesn't run over and clash with the other bands on other stages. Also there will be more seating near the food stalls to allow festival goers to enjoy the different food in comfort. Caribana last year, music amongst the trees and by the lake. Caribakids day Sunday the 13th is Caribakids day (from 13.00-18.00), where there will be lots of activities for children including a quiet corner for them to listen to stories read by volunteers from the library at Crans. There will be a workshop for children held inside a yurt, including an opportunity for them to make music. As ever there will be a boum (dance/disco) for the children and face painting, bouncy castle, climbing wall and a mass release of balloons. Caribana on iPhone New to Caribana this year is the availability of the programme on an iPhone app. Also, ticket holders will be able to use regional public transport free of charge to and from the festival from the Wednesday to the Saturday (including the NStCM train) Buses to Geneva and Lausanne will be available for a special price of 10 chf per journey. Environment Around half of the buses that will bring in the sponsors and artists to the festival will operate on natural gas. This year as in the last two years, there will be a deposit of CHF 2 on the gobelets (the drinking containers) when purchasing beers/drinks etc. This is to encourage less rubbish in the ground and to enable the containers to be recycled. It promises to be a fabulous festival, more details on the daily line up will be posted here on Living in Nyon nearer the time. Tickets are now on sale . The Caribana website has details of all the ticket outlets, and you can also buy them online. Tickets don't sell out as fast as they do for the Paléo music festival but they do sell out, so don't leave it too late! * Living in Nyon has been following Mama Rosin since they first played in Nyon many years ago in the small venue in the old town called Club 1306. See previous post. They are superb live! Check them out. News from Nyon's film festival - Lou Reed coming to Nyon Latest news from Visions du Réel is that the singer (and now film maker) Lou Reed will be coming to Nyon to present his first film called "Red Shirley" for its world premiere. (note there are still a few places left for the talk by Mr Perret director of Visions du Réel on 6th April here in Nyon, see post below) This is what VDR's press release says about the film. When Lou Reed, the singer of the group “Velvet Underground” and author of the albums Berlin and Transformer, stood behind a camera for the first time at the age of 68, one might have thought he would seek to probe the world of music. Not at all. His first documentary film will focus on something else: the face and the narrative of his cousin, on the eve of her 100th birthday. Sitting next to her, sometimes even kneeling, whispering his questions close to her ear, Lou Reed, assisted by Ralph Gibson, records the story of an incredible destiny. Often showing amazement, like a child, at the events Shirley has lived through, laughing at her quirky, frank or irritated replies, frequently asking her to repeat just to make sure, he films an affectionate and moving portrait, interspersed with some photographs. While Shirley’s narrative first touches on the ordeal of two world wars and the disappearance of her family “whom Hitler took care of”, it takes an unexpected turn. We learn that she left Poland on her own in 1938 at the age of 19 years, with only two suitcases and a few dollars in her pocket to travel to Montreal – where in six months she learnt not French but the mandolin before finally slipping off illegally to New York, buried under the goods on a truck. There she was to become a dressmaker and to lead the workers’ demands hence her nickname Red Shirley, which gave the film its title. An extraordinary figure of women’s emancipation, captured in all her authenticity. The film will be shown on Tuesday, April 20 at 20:30 at the Théâtre de Marens.

If you have recently arrived in Switzerland, you may not know that you don't need to head off to Brazil to be part of Carnival. There are parades and mini carnivals taking place all over the country. Some are well known such as the Fastnacht in Basel, or carnival in Lucerne, however the small village of Broc (near Gruyères just an hour from Nyon) put on a splendid show this weekend, with little children and adults taking part. The town of Nyon doesn't hold a carnival (there is so much going on the rest of the year) but if you are heading off to a ski resort or thermal baths for a weekend check there isn't a carnival parade planned in that area for the next few weeks. The photos below give you a flavour of what to expect, and the Smilebox at the end of this has even more photos. It takes a few seconds to load and provides a bit of a colour and music to these cold winter days. Make a Smilebox slideshow

Living in Nyon spoke to expatriate Sandra Wilmer who moved to Rolle in July 2009. Sandra, originally from Johannesburg in South Africa, tells us why she loves living in Rolle. "Rolle is a magical and charming town. Even though it has a population of just *5,000 people, it has everything one needs to go about one's daily business, with a butcher, baker etc. Rolle has the most beautiful waterfront that is set away from the road, making it a quiet place to go for a stroll. The Chateau is a working chateau, there are administrational offices that are run from within the building. There are also exhibitions held in a gallery space in the castle and a wonderful market at Christmas too. Art Exhibition held inside the Chateau Rolle is peaceful which I love even though it is still very close to the other towns of Nyon and Morges. Lausanne, Coppet and Geneva are a short drive or train ride away. We have wonderful wineries on our doorstep and we are within walking distance to Mont sur Rolle. We often go to Fechy for wine tasting, lunch in St Prex or Perroy, which is just around the corner from us. There is an international feel to the place due to the A1 Business centre, but there are still many Swiss people here, although you don’t hear as much English spoken as in our neighbouring towns. I have always found everyone to be friendly and when I try to speak French, people are very helpful and patient. We often take our bicycles in the summer and just ride around the apple orchards and vineyards and we stop to pick apples that have fallen on the ground, there are also opportunities to pick grapes in the Autumn season too. There is a local gym in Rolle and a beautiful conference centre along the lake side. The local Rolle Green Bus travels around the town regularly and picks up people at designated spots and takes them to the train station in a very timely fashion so it's all very convenient. The train station is very clean too and very accessible to most everywhere. If there was just one thing I wish for, that would be that were more trains from Rolle, the frequency could be improved. We have a very well known fish restaurant called Café du Port which has an excellent reputation. There are many other nice restaurants too. Rolle also has a shop called the Tournesol (sunflower) which is an organic food store and there is also a market on Tuesday and Friday mornings, with fresh produce, pasta, cheese, meat, olives, fish, flowers all on sale. However my favourite shop of all has to be La Boîte à Thé which is a very special shop indeed. You can sip tea or drink coffee at the back of the store, while looking through all the photos of the owner’s travels. The owner Ursula Selig, sources many products while she is travelling in other countries and there are teas and interesting products for sale from all over the world in this shop. I have spent hours here as it is so peaceful and interesting too! Rolle also has a ferry dock, and the ferries cross over the lake to the main towns and villages in the summer. All in all, I think Rolle is a very special little place and I love living here." Editor's note: Rolle is also home to Le Rosey the prestigious international boarding school (said to be one of the most expensive schools in the world) See previous post about the A1 business centre in Rolle * The population of Rolle (December 2009) was 5,686 The official website of Rolle also incudes the communes of Allaman, Bursinel, Bursins, Burtigny, Dully, Essertines, Gilly, Luins, Mont-sur-Rolle, Perroy, Rolle, Tartegnin and Vinzel. Rolle also has a tourist office in the centre of the town which has its own website Rolle High Street
