Given the strength of some of its more obvious attractions - wonderful space, sunny but mainly temperate and non- tropical climate, dirt-cheap servants and thus only minimal laundry, house-cleaning and related problems - there may be more families than you think from among the white tribe of the non-tropical areas of former British colonial Africa who have stayed on. There are those too who have tried coming back to the UK, returned to Africa again, and then stayed on a second time. The Fuller family, Mum, Dad and two daughters, of whom the younger tells this story, fall into the second of those categories. Having quit what was then Rhodesia in 1969, they return, after two years at Glossop in Derbyshire, to what was still just that - under Ian Smith's still then surviving UDI regime - in 1971.
