A Tame Colonial Girl
()
About this ebook
This book is the intimate diary of a girl who was born in England, but grew up in Colonial and post-Colonial "up-country" Kenya after her parents travelled overland across the Sahara Desert in 1947/1948.
Her working life led her to meet prominent people in Kenya's Government. She ran a business in Mombasa, on Kenya's coast. Briefly, she and her partner worked for an "Aid Transportation Company" in the port of Assab, Eritrea, where they lived in a tent - better accommodation than the local hotel!
Back in Kenya, after having to give up their beach resort on the Kenya Coast, they started a Safari Company which took them to nearly every point on the Kenya Map.
There are times of heartbreak and suffering; but there is also great joy, especially at the birth of her two children.
Through it all, shines the deep love Wendy has for the country that has been her home for the past 60+ years - Kenya.

My book says it all really, it is my lifetime diary of my time spent living and surviving in Kenya and Africa since I arrived there as a little girl. The happy times and the sad times, all is revealed.
