Christine Nicholls: Kit Taylor went to the Kenya High School and Loreto Convent. She spent six years working for the Provincial Commissioner in Nakuru, and was also private secretary to two Governors of Kenya, Philip Mitchell and Evelyn Baring. She it was who arranged the new Queen’s hasty return to England upon the death of George VI. She married Donald Graham, a farm manager in the Rift Valley, and the family went to England in 1963. Kathini worked at the War Office, but this was dull after life in Kenya, so she set up her own company specialising in estate agency. She had a fund of stories of pioneering days and the hurly burly of life in Government House during the Emergency.
