Over the years I have had many short stories win awards and published in anthologies, highlighting my adventures with the people I lived with in Kenya over a 10 year period during the 1980s/90s.
After my husband and I retired,
we did the Grey Nomad thing, travelling for 3 years around Australia in a caravan, caretaking many properties along the way.
We now live on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and I enjoy walking around the creek paths, swimming and pottering in my Australian native garden

Nyaloka left Australia to marry Okeyo, a sound engineer and video photographer, in rural Kenya. Okeyo's family welcomed her with open arms even though she failed to do the work African wives do.
They managed a video library and built a business producing documentaries for organisations to raise money for vital rural community development projects.
The highlight being a trip to a refugee camp on the Tanzanian border shortly after the Rwandan genocide. Nyaloka experienced first-hand the joys and sorrows of everyday life in rural Kenya.
