On Monday, the groundsman of the place I’m staying kindly took me to see Malindi, the largest urban centre in Kilifi County, first mentioned in historical records in the 13th century and for many years a dominant port city rivalled only by Mombasa.

Bird Count
So I went to help out on a bird count the other day with A Rocha Kenya, an amazing Christian conservation organisation, to the Sabaki river estuary; the Athi-Galana-Sabaki River being the second longest river in Kenya and home to a vast diversity of wildlife including birds, hippos, and crocodiles. We counted thousands of waders and several raptors incl. an African fish […]
Waiting-for-wind and lipstick
While I was waiting for the wind to pick up, I got my make-up bag out and dolled up with these 3 beauties. Just because. ❤ And a director’s cut: Ready?
Setting Sail
The story so far, 5 days in
Monkeys in the Garden
A video of wild monkeys that frequent our garden
Flowers of the Garden
Just did a tour of the garden while waiting for the wind and thought I would sample for you all the lovely flowers that grow here!
The sounds of sleeping
This is the sound of 5am at Watamu Beach House, where I sleep. And this the look…
Welcome to my blog… and to tracking me…
This year I have set out to track my dream of being a ‘digital kite nomad’ (the digital bit means I get to work remotely on my laptop, the nomad bit, to live a few months at a time in some glorious location, and the kite bit – oh yeah!! – to kitesurf in the selfsame).
And this blog is an invitation for you to track (with) me on the adventure.
It is intended as a kind of scrap book which you can dip into at random, each post has a little precis to tell you what to expect, and if you click on the headline, it will take you to the full post. (Try it with the headline of this post!)
There’ll be text, scrappy and scruffy, pictures, and sounds – mini podcasts or mood-casts you can stick on while driving, or dusting, or dozing….
There’ll be two languages – German and English.
To find your way around, you can click on SHOW in the top corner and see a list of recent posts, and under categories, pick the language and topic that interests you most just now.
Otherwise, just keep scrolling down the page to see all the posts to date!
I hope you’ll enjoy! And do feel free to leave a comment or a like, so I know you wuz ‘ere! 🙂
