Sorry these Africa photos are taking so long to appear. First there was the technical hitch with uploading via Picassa, and then there was life. 'If you don't go to work, what do you do, Grandma?' asked Boo. I was rather dumbfounded and still don't know the answer, but there is an awful lot of it! Water-colour painting, drama group, prayer meetings, editing........................
Anyway, back to Kenya. I had an outing with young Mrs S to this bead factory, called Kazuri. Which means 'small and beautiful' (nice name for a grandchild I thought, but perhaps not). Mostly single mothers are given employment here making bead jewellery, and without monotony, as they only do one lot of repetitive work for a day. The lovely results are sold reasonably priced in their shop and for far more in smart UK stores. I stocked up.
