Sunday with Robin and Nigel

On Sunday I was fortunate enough to be invited to join Robin Schalch and Nigel Pavitt on a small adventure, to look at some fascinating pieces of Kenyan history.

There's nothing I can write here in under a 1000 words that would do justice to what was a very enjoyable and educational day roving the Rift Valley and Escarpment outside Nairobi (and the weather was hopeless for photography!), but Nigel, helped by Robin and others, has just produced an astonishing book called Kenya – A Country in the Making 1880-1940. Containing 720 photographs it's an essential visual record of Kenya over those years.


Here are reviews of the book in The Nation, and the Wall Street Journal, and it's available to order it at both Amazon.co.uk, and Amazon.com. I know it will make a superb gift either for yourself or anyone else who loves this country and its history.
