It’s odd how the mind works. Suddenly a long lost memory randomly pops back into focus. I was trying to open a food tin and the can opener had done a runner. Time to get out my Swiss Army Knife with its soon to be tried, mini can opener tool. I remembered buying this knife gadget from a gift shop in Switzerland to hurriedly try to fix my Glasses. We were at the top of The Gornergrat. A high mountain ridge standing at over 10,000ft just a few miles from Zermatt. It’s famed for having Europe’s highest open air railway.
The memory further opened out. Glasses quickly repaired, we had lunch sat outside the mountain top restaurant. Hawklad’s Mum then said that on our next Swiss Holiday we should try to stay at the hotel here, seemingly perched on top of the world.
That was 2015 and our world changed before that could happen.
One day maybe we can complete this memory.










I hope you and Hawklad make it there, my friend. Sounds like a wonderful father and son adventure.

Majestic and awe-inspiring are the words that come to mind. I really thought that was the Matterhorn when I first saw the pictures. So beautiful … so … peaceful. xx

Hi, Yes it is interesting what can trigger memories. New Zealand is the closest country to Australia where alpine scenery such as this can be viewed.

No question about it, you two must complete the memory. I believe in signs letting us know that there are things we must complete while we can. Go team Hawklad and dad!
