Alhambra, food for the soul!

  Alhambra Amongst the world’s greatest treasures, the Alhambra sits in serene silence on a hill in Granada Spain. I have been in love with it for a long time and a couple of years ago I spent to as much as I could there. Like a girl I had had a crush on for a long time, I loved a every moment in her company. Always in my heart.         The Alhambra is a citadel and a palace atop a hill, overlooking Granada, Spain with complete majesty. To say that at first glance it is awe-inspiring would be the understatement of your life. It was built by Moorish kings in the 12 th and 13 th (although there was a Moorish fortress there since the 9 th century) centuries and, to this day, it is recognised as one of the finest examples of Moorish architecture. Granada was the capital of the Moorish kingdom until it was captured by Ferdinande and Isabella in 1492.   On a rocky hill of difficult access, on the banks of the river Darro, protected by the mountains...

A GIFT FOR YOU: History of Kenya at the Olympics

THIS IS A great gift to those of you who played hockey, watched hockey or want to learn about an exceptional element of Kenya hockey history. Dil Bahra, who is considered the authority on Kenya hockey history made this presentation to Kenya Hockey Olympians and their guests in a Zoom get-together on May 30. The fact that they came together is an achievement, but if you could have listened to reminiscing and banter, it was something else. Most of these guys are in the 80s and vijana are in their 70s. But most have clear memories of the games, the results and all the other magic that was created at the Olympics. Dil Bahra has allowed me reproduction of his presentation so that you can keep a copy of it for yourself. This is a very special man. We salute you.
