General Information:
Nash - Zoo Without Bars - 1931 - friends of Evelyn's {Brodhurst-Hill} who farmed outside Eldoret .….….. They were the kindest of people. We had never met them before, yet they extended unlimited hospitality - so typical of East Africa. Bob Lester had the neatest of farms. He grew his own eucalyptus and wattle; it seemed extraordinary to see 'straight' poles, posts and stakes used for outbuildings and cattle kraals after the contorted bush timber I was used to.
