While I have been on a solitary journey in Larkhill, Wiltshire in England, Mr Nomad has continued to fly the flag for the Nomadic Family Unit in Kenya. Little has changed for him except that he has been carrying on maintaining security in a foreign country far from home alone, although he has had the... Continue Reading →

The road trip had seen me roaming through Teesside and it eventually took me to Richmond, North Yorkshire to pay a visit to the Nomadic Family Unit grandparents.  I had not seen Grandma and Grandpa Nomad for almost a year so as lock down had lifted, a visit to them was well over due.  In...

Once settled in my accommodation, I embarked upon a trip to Middlesbrough.  I was keen to visit a well known high street store selling clothes to freshen my wardrobe, and to purchase items suitable for my return to Kenya.  With the lock down easing, non-essential shops were re-opening and along with the rest of the...

My itchy feet got the better of me.  In my constant craving for adventure, I took the plunge in hiring a car (thank you Thrifty!) to enable me to get further afield than my aching legs could carry me.  I decided to embark on a road trip which would take me 'up North' to my... Continue Reading →

Whilst in lock down and still in unfamiliar surroundings, a scavenger hunt was organised for us evacuees to provide a morning of entertainment.  I found this challenge incredibly appealing given that I have taken to rambling around the countryside, and the hunt for treasure at least gave me some purpose.

Actually, its a long 40 days since I arrived in the UK.  When I arrived in the UK on Sunday 12th April 2020, it certainly felt like I had arrived into a post apocalyptic Britain.  The plot of an epic British film, '28 Days Later', released in 2002 depicts the breakdown of society following the...

In continuing the exploration of my new surroundings, a walk to Stonehenge was called for.  As I still pine for Kenya, an amble through the Great British country side was just what I needed and as is usual for my outdoor adventures, I had a burning desire to attempt to spot the local wild life. ...

After being evacuated from Kenya, I have found myself placed in the South West of England, more specifically the garrison town of Larkhill.  I have never spent much time in the South of England so this is a whole new adventure for me.  Larkhill can be found in the civil parish of Durrington in Wiltshire. ...

  Following the visit of our friend Richie to Kenya, our unadulterated ecstasy from an amazing time away was abruptly halted and we were all rudely brought back down to earth with the news that Corona virus or Covid-19 was gripping the world, and that there was free fall into world wide lockdown.  We were...
