Today we were invited to join the CBM Field Staff in Kenya, some visiting pastors and CBM staff from Angola and Terry Smith from Toronto. We went to the Kiambethu Tea Farm. The Tea Farm is located 30 kilometres from Nairobi and is about 8,000 feet above sea level.
We arrived there around 10:15. We started the morning with a worship service which was held outside in the garden. Andy DesRoches led us in singing and Terry Smith gave a short message. It was very meaningful and short! (ha! ha!)
Around 11 a.m. we had tea and cookies. While sampling this wonderful tea, Fiona Vernon, the owner, explained to us the process of making tea. This Tea Farm dates back to 1912 and has been home to four generations.
We then took a walk in an indigenous forest with a resident Kenyan guide. We saw a lot of Colobus monkeys, especially around the farm house.
A delicious lunch was served and we ate outside.
The gardens around the house were spectacular as was the view of the lush green tea fields and the Ngong Hills in the distance.
It was like being in paradise! Now we understand why the British chose to settle here many years ago!
