The coulours of the countryside are sombre during this month.
The withered leaves are blown here and there by the wind and the
days are even shorter than before. Occasionally a pale sun
accompanies people on their country walks.
A
new period begins for the countryside: a new harvest is nearly ready -
olives, mandarins and oranges - all 
of
the very best quality and famous throughout Europe. The 2nd of November is a special date when the
dead are remembered and small round loafs, specially baked, are offered
to friends and family.
