Nyon (Switzerland)

I feel like posting all the pictures of Mr. “Olives”, because he will give a look at this gallery on Pbase and also because he’s an adorable person.
We talked a little and I gave him the link to this page on Pbase.
He could not find a piece of paper, so he asked his neighbour, a very shy casseroles and plates seller, who had not any pen or paper either.
But nothing could prevent the energetic Mr “Olives” from getting his goal.
He left his stall and rushed inside the baker’s shop on his back,
Then he came out with pen and paper, he wrote down the link.
Then he reproached kindly and joking his neighbour because he had (kindly) refused to pretend to be a client eating olives for the picture purpose (all Mr. “Olives” ideas to enhance my picture…).
I thanked both of them and I tried to leave…
“Wait, wait, Madam! I cannot allow you to leave like that”
He said loudly.
And he gave me an enormous bag full of all kind of his olives, and refused to accept any money.
“Thank you for the pictures, Madam!”
“Thank you, Mr. ”Olives!”

Quel homme charmant et gentil ... Un Gentlemen ! Et avec un air si sympathique ! L'olive est mon petit plat d'accompanement favori à mes repas... indiscutablement le petit met le plus goûteux et savoureux qui soit ... Mais J'ignorais totalement l'existence de "spécialistes" en olives ! J'y déménage !! Une image pleine de chaleur par ses teintes et ton texte ... La dosposition des olives sur la table et ton angle de prise de vue donnent un aspect savoureux à l'image .. Bravo Marisa ... touché sur 3 tableaux ! Image, histoire et l'homme Mr Olive !

Are the olives from his own farm or are they imported from somewhere ? I'm not aware that Switzerland has olive trees. Thought the place is too cold.
