One of the facets for me about Kenyan culture was the stories that people told in terms of advice and guidance or pearls of wisdom which l found a good way of describing pictures in words.
Having just spoken to Professor John Picton to glean words of wisdom and knowlege before l embark on this new journey l realise how much this element of African culture has entered into his way of thinking.
One of his most amusing pieces of advice was to wear a skirt when travelling on the road........as l/we may need to squat by the roadside to relieve ourselves and this would mean l could/might retain a modicum of modesty during the whole proceedings!!!
I am sure there will be more stories to tell as the project progresses.....watch this space!
