Absolutely spot-on, AE. We have estranged (distant) family out there, casually living the dream (

) in Diyani. An older white widow on her own, with occasional visits from her 2 x sons and families. Imperialism seems to be ingrained in her and she isn't listening. F

stupid, but horses and water come to mind. Though my wife was born (as a settler's daughter) in Kenya, there is absolutely no desire at all to return. Not even for the Country (can't stand 'the family you get, friends you choose' angle

).
Those who have not been there should pay attention to AE's wise words; the world has moved on from the '50s & '60s
