A brilliant history of a talented and very remakable man ~ and 'one of us'. Chit-Chat Revisited (2018) ~ "Baby on board" Webmaster's niece, Linda Russell (nee Rankine), was resident in Nyasaland as a child when her father was employed in Barclays Bank, Limbe. She has recently (July 2018) returned for a visit with her daughter Pippi and both thoroughly enjoyed their time there. Pippi, a medical student, was keen to experience some aspects of the life of the ordinary villager and here she is seen trying the time honoured practice of baby transportation. What a delight it is to see the reaction of the ladies gathered there.     Click here to view Webmaster - September 2018 (Note: Given that this young lady, now a qualified doctor, is expecting her first child it is appropriate that she is reminded of this perfect method of carry) Life and Work in Nyasaland Nothing is added this month from Colin Baker's books with, it seems, all the appropriate Police related articles now recorded and available on the website.
