While we were in Kenya, Tessa and I had a mother-daughter date to walk to and visit the Kiambethu Tea Farm.
Before we left we split a strawberry milkshake, which Tessa had been craving. It was not what she or I would call quality, but it was special anyway.
Here is Tessa walking the path through the tea fields.
In the background you can see the Kenyans plucking the new bright green tea leaves, which are the only leaves used to make tea.
Many tea pluckers live in employee housing. The employee houses here recently got new roofs.
Simply beautiful views as we walked
The house was built by the current owner's grandfather in the 1920s. It is now also a B&B with beautiful gardens. They also raise British Jersey cows here and sell the milk. It's a good combination - tea with milk!
Another visitor to the tea farm was this funny little "zebra rat."
The view from the Ngong Hills from front porch of the house, although it's a bit too cloudy here to see the hills. Yes, these are the hills of which you have heard in "Out of Africa."
