Today at work

I thought kenya didnt like white people owning land?

Nobody likes immigrants. There’s no laws based on colour but to own farmland you have to be a Kenya citizen though it can be got round by forming a Kenyan company. Any white person who has still got land they had at independence is either lucky, brave , bloody minded or rich enough to fight or bribe. There’s a push to reclaim the large ranches in Laikipia which are white owned and this would be a disaster for the wildlife. However it’s worth remembering that my wife’s family who arrived here in 1887 from India were excluded from owning land based on their colour until independence in 1963.

They say nature abhors a vacuum. Today a new solitary male giraffe arrived and he’s even more sociable than George.

Busy day Saturday at my daughters school trimming back some low branches . New Fastrac and timber crane taking the hard work out of it . Not to many wheelings on the football pitch

Nice outfit - all perfectly colour coded!

Never noticed a Fastrac before with small rear wheels than front wheels.

It looks that way in the pic but they are all the same size.
