In 1958, the excitement started as she sailed out to East Africa via the Suez Canal. She arrived in Dar-es-Salaam harbor on her eighth birthday then moved inland to Dodoma, where she remained until 1960. Living right on the edge of the bush in Dodoma, her rubbish bins were nightly raided by big cats and hyenas. Moving back to Dar-es-Salaam, she now had the beauty of Oyster Bay, where she swam and searched the coral rock pools at low tide.
She learned to sail and could often be seen racing friends in her dabchick, once having to be rescued by the lifeboat after turning turtle during a bad squall. She was very sad to have to return to England in 1968, but her parents feared the balloon would go up after Independence and got out before hand.
Having been bitten by the travelling bug, she travelled to many exotic places, and it is these experiences that she draws on when writing her poems.показать меньше
