It was purely coincidence, but on Monday afternoon I had just finished writing on my other blog Living in Nyon about looking for property in the Nyon area, when I then went into the town and saw the afternoon shoppers looking up into the sky.
The reason, a helicopter delivering scaffolding and gradually lowering it onto the building that houses the Old Droguerie right in the centre of Nyon.
The noise of the whirring blades attracted the attention of passersby and the children coming home from school. All were fascinated by the skilful manoeuvring of both the helicopter pilot and the construction workers clinging on while putting the roof-like structure into place. There is a shortage of property in this area, so I guess this way of extending upwards is one way of getting a roof over one’s head!
