 April 2025
Beware! Don't get caught out ~ the first of April is 'All Fools Day'. The fourth month of the year April has 30 days and in the Northern Hemisphere is commonly associated with the season of Spring but the derivation of its name is uncertain. The weather is widely known to be variable but be encouraged that it is so very true that 'alhough April showers may come your way they bring the flowers that bloom in May'. Celebrated on the 23rd is St George's day ~ the Patron Saint of England.
 Granny's Book ~ It's new this month!
Mainly for family consumption our Senior Member, Mary Brill, found the time to put together the story of her years in Nyasaland with husband Reg, initially in the Agriculture Department followed by transfer to the Nyasaland Police.
The first part of her article can now be viewed on the Items of Interest page.
Barry Thorne - From his book, "A Varied Life", Barry has generously volunteered to share those chapters relating to Nyasaland via this website over the next month or so. This month, now available on the Items of Interest page, he writes of Nyasaland becoming the independent state of Malawi.
 Nyasaland, A bit of Background History
How many of us, during our time in Nyasaland, took more than a passing interest in the historical origins of the country? Well Vanessa did and she has put together a quite comprehensive article about those early days. We are honoured to share her hard work and it appears here on the "Items of Interst" page. To enjoy and, belated perhaps, learn a great deal click here for part 2. |
This month, from Volume 4 of Colin Baker's books Patricia Bewes tells us of her marriage to Charles in Zomba in 1957. Click here to read it
 Chit-Chat Re-visited (2014) ~ Do you remember Arnold Woolley?
Over the years there was quite a number of BSAP members who moved to join the Nyasaland Police. Arnold Woolley was different, he went the other way - having joined the Nyasaland Police in 1961 he left in 1964 and joined the BSAP. He had a varied and successful career there but under political pressure was obliged to leave in about 1984. On his return to UK he was very active in local politics including a term as Mayor of Buckley, Flintshire (pop:15,000 or so). A brief autobiography can be found on the internet -
