Ooh, another award. I’m loving this, but I’m wondering what to say about myself? 🙂
In accord with the ‘rules & regs’ …………..
1. You will need to Thank the person that nominated you first and link the blog to that person. Colline of Collinesblog nominated me for this award. Thank you so much, I appreciate it very much. Colline has a wonderful blog about all sorts of interesting things. She puts interesting topics forth, researches well, and writes beautifully. She also asks you questions that are sometimes hard to get to grips with.
2. Tell the world 7 things we might find interesting about you.
I was born in Ndola, Zambia
I have met and chatted with 3 heads of State: President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, Prime Minister Ian Smith of Rhodesia, and President Ian Khama of Botswana.
I have met and chatted with Chikwenya, Matriarch of a small elephant herd.
I am the honourary daughter of a Bemba tribe in Zambia, led by Chief Chiwala.
I am the mother of a kitten rescued by my Great Dane at 3 days old. A Butcher bird baby, who nested in my hair. A newborn, abandoned Duiker (buck) who is now master of a small lodge!
I have a craft room the size of a small shop!
I hate mess

Somehow, I knew you had a fascinating history … besides the near-fatal mishaps! I am looking forward to the Ian Smith post. I love the part about the bird nesting. I assume all of this is in the book?

All the animal tales are in my book – which needs more time spent on it! *sigh*

I was born into a politically aware family. My grandparents were personal friends with President Kaunda. We knew the Khama sons very well, one even wanted to marry my sister! Ian Smith was a fabulous meeting, I’ll blog about that
