The last time that I remember being on the Rochers de
Faverge would have been in 1951 or 52. It used to be somewhere to aim for if
one was walking up the Grand Saleve fairly near Geneva. We used to get there,
find somewhere to sit on the jumble of huge stones/rocks, make a hot drink
using a little meta block heater and, most of all, try to keep the rather
energetically inquisitive mountain goats away – still, at times they were
preferable to the Swiss mountain cows which I reckon were about as friendly as
an English bull. You can find pictures on the net of the Rochers de Faverge.
Those of us who remember how things were 50 years or more ago should take the time to make their memories available to younger people. A world without the internet, without on screen games and where direct face to face conversation substituted for texts, emails and so called social media - was it better? Was it worse? Whichever, it was certainly different. PLEASE do add comments - thank you. Search this blog using the search box at the bottom or choose a topic from the labels on the right.
