The rest of the time the family were in Nairobi except for a period of 5 years from ’35 to ’40

when Tony went to school in UK.
Ended up a microbiologist working for the government until retirement.
Went to Namibia from work and fell for the place returning several times since.
Now live in a village 8 miles West of Salisbury.
For a number of years had ambition to get a decent photo if ancient body will stand the flight.

Wish to visit Samburu next year.
