Women in Kenya, no.1, 1994  In the early years of the depression life was hard and entailed many moves, from Laikipia to Meru, to Nairobi in the KAR, and then up to Kitale until the start of the 1939 war when Maurice was recalled into the Royal Navy. Joyce managed to join him in Aden and then Colombo where she worked in the Wrens before returning to Kenya to join her sister Catherine Shaw who was matron at the officers' convalescent home at Chiromo, where Joyce did the catering. After the war it was back to Kitale again for several years before transferring to the Naivasha County Council. Joyce was an early member of the EAWL. In 1962 the Vernons retired to spend almost ten years in Spain and Majorca where they were very happy until Maurice lost his sight, so they returned to Kenya to live at Karen for a further 10 years. In 1982 they moved to Australia to join their daughters.
