I was meant to be moving this month, as my husbands company is based there so he is also based there, but with all the recent massacres in Kenya, we decided that it just wasn't particularly safe at the moment. I didn't fancy living in a compound with razor wire and cut glass on the walls, being home before dark, not keeping a schedule etc. You don't just go out and wander round on your own. Having spoken to wives of his workmates, many of them are fed up of pretty much having no life and being confined to the house most of the time and it's certainly no life for children as they have to be accompanied everywhere.
