I was born in Africa many moons ago in March of 1951 - -you can do the maths! Africa because that was where my dad was serving with the British army at the time. Years later, when my parents spoke of their time living there it was like they were describing a whole different world, one where even a humble army sergeant had three servants! The house they lived in was grandly called 'Hilltop Lodge' and was perched half way up a mountain. The picture above is the only one I have that shows the outside. Some interior shots show that the place was entirely made of wood, with the walls resembling those of a modern garden shed! It must have been quite high up on the mountain side because apparently, some mornings, clouds would drift in through the windows and through the rooms. There were a couple of unusual pets living at the house also - -but that is another story.
