Thanks - I’ve been here a couple of weeks, and it’s working okay so far. Popping home at the weekend. A few poignant moments though..the sudden realisation at times, while going for a walk along the farm tracks round here, that no one in the world actually knew exactly, or even roughly, where I was...
Nairobi is a ‘No’ form a driving perspective, but I’m four hours (by car) from there at the moment. Getting back to Nairobi is most likely to be by small plane (which is probably at least as dangerous as driving!!) or being driven. Driving locally is ok. Good point on my driver. He’s an employee, but I have to admit I haven’t established if he’s paid by the hour or salaried. I’ll see if I can find out what the deal is. He took me to the local shopping centre earlier...frequented by plenty of British army people...we seem to have a base round here. Was entertained to discover the grapes for sale came from Spain!!
