A beautiful experience

Two weeks without writing... I nearly felt guilty and thought even more time had passed...! Now I have so much adrenalin moving through my veins that I have to write what happened 2day :)
A troupe of the tv sender ORF came to Merano to make some shoots of some prearrangements of the Merano Grape Festival. We went to the Promenade where the market is being prepared and filmed the beautiful stony giant grape made by the diligent workers of the department for Municipal authority streets and infrastrutures last year.Municipal plant nursery Merano and the gardeners showed us how they prepare the red and white carnations they fix on the eagle (the emblem of Merano). The eagle is in the domicile of the department for Municipal authority streets and infrastrutures, awaiting to be prepared for Sunday :)
Then we went to Marling, where Mr. and Mrs. Arquin welcomed us with homemade Strudel and coffee. The carriage is already in a advanced building phase, there were various men working on it, hammering the apples with nails on it. the Goidnerhof - absolutely perfect and everybody happy :) These are the kind of expereinces which make my stressy job worth it :)

Elegant musical end of June

What could be a better end for June, if not colourful performances of the Cambridge Morris Men on the Promenade and the exhibition of veteran Citroens all through the town center?
Despite of the rainy weather the 11 dancers who came to Merano from the UK found the energy and the joy for dancing in front of the public, enjoying the performance with a bit of curiosity for the colourful costumes dedicated to the celebration of spring.
The Citroen veteran cars had the pleasure to be well received in Merano for the 5th time last week-end and bore the thick raindrops elegantly.
Oh, I nearly forgot...if you take a closer look at the picture, you will see a green pianist in the background... It is one of the extraordinary creations of the Municipal Nursery Merano. :)
