The story of a young woman in Kenya, beer, keys and the perils of Africa, Rebecca Guyver

An accordion boekie with wonderful memories and matching instructions: Another Kind of DRUNKPO, by Rebecca.

Everything put together in a man's pocket shirt.

Some selected pages from the boekie and the adventure in Kenya!

when the baridi beer ran out

I rotated 180 degrees

into the house of the Dutch headmaster

We assembled a living room tent

would eat humble pie,

and kick off our red shoes,

of the Kerio Valley,

reach down, take a key in Africa

Fabulous work, presented very beautifully and in a romantic way. Melts my heart.

Thank you so much Rebecca!

Comment by vizma bruns on February 15, 2013 at 1:44am: This IS a beautiful blog!

Did you make the Naf Liam stamp Rebecca!? I take it you married Patrick? Whatever happened to poor Mike?

Comment by Rebecca Guyver on February 14, 2013 at 8:34pm: Oh Carina, so beautifully blogged. You got the only Painted background version. I think I forgot to finish certain things in 5/6 and 6/6 but that's indicative of my careless nature, not any slight to the people I sent the final versions to... Perfect that you blogged it today too. The protagonists have just eaten the first meal we ate together after the key incident (20+ years later) again. A happy valentine.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on February 14, 2013 at 9:28am: Drunkpo has produced its first classic (?)
