Hi Jean-Francois - thank you. I’m not sure about the where this comes from. I spent some time in Kenya and wanted to write about the place

Interesting start. It's pretty presumptuous for either hubby to decide who her next husband should be, but I'll play along 😁

Working my way back into reading Kate and you struck a few chords with me, as you will know. I’m in the fortunate position of being able to read the next chapter straight away, and I can’t wait.

And now we can explore again with Kate. New counties, always exciting, just need the next chapters to appear as quickly as I read, such a good, well thought out story. Could read this for hours. Well written, good story.

The pain of loss then... An enticing beginning with fun written all over. Thank you, Kate. Why Kenya?

Hi Bill, thank you. I am glad you like the first chapter. As you know, I had a short career in the Army, and when I was young and very inexperienced as a soldier, I was sent to Kenya for three months, where there is a British Army Training Center (BATLSK). I was doing general driving duties and other logistics tasks, like collecting supplies from local food contractors and delivering them to our base (Nanyuki). I have been to Dol-Dol, Mpala Farm, Archers Post, and Lake Naivasha (hippos), and I saw wild animals, including a lioness. It feels easier to write about places that I have been to, and Kenya is so nice. East Africa is also where Homo Sapiens was born and lived before moving out to the rest of the world (that becomes relevant).

Thank you, Kate. More edification and education for an old man. I have heard from others that Kenya is beautiful. I think I understand the b, a, t, s, k, is the l for (logistics?) Was your dad a big factor in going army? College was the better choice. (Except for folks like me.😉😉)

Hi Bill, I just checked on the Internet because I couldn’t exactly remember. So, I worked for the British Army Training and Liaison Staff Kenya (BATLSK), which was logistics and mechanics, etc. The infantry soldiers were on what was called BATUK - British Army Training Unit Kenya.

Going there was considered a real treat for logistics soldiers but much harder work for the Infantry.

I joined the Army after I finished Uni. Dad loved the Army (he served for 22 years). My career ended abruptly when I suffered PTSD in Afghanistan.
