Beehive/St Christophers School

Beehive/St Christopher's School

Welcome to the Beehive/ St Christophers Webpage

I have put both names down for this School as Some went to one and some to the other in the time of Col & Mrs Delaforce, although I only taught there for a short timeI spent many happy holidays from the KHS there as my mother Mrs Willie as every one knew her was there for many years. Hope this page brings back good memories of a very happy small school. Please let me know your news and photos if you have any. please send them either JPG or GIF thankyou Also please sign guest book. I felt the memories so many of us had of our childhood in Kenya and of this happy little school were too precious to forget, and should be passed on.which is which is why I started this page

John Williamson ready to go to Miss Thring's for riding lesson

Travel Sites I can recommend

This is an ideal place for anyone wishing to fish for trout in an exotic place,the foothills of the Himalayas in India.Also good for Hikers etc or just to relax

I have been to India twice and have stopped there.each time.am going a third time this year and will certainly spend time here You might like to spend at least one week here after the frenetic pace of the rest of India as it is quiet and peaceful and you feel as if you can touch the stars

Mine hosts Christopher & Shefali Mitra will treat you well and the trout and other meat meals Christopher cooks and the vegetarian meals Shefali cooks are to die for.Click below to see more.

Christopher is also the most wonderful story teller and muso

I can highly recommend the place for mor information please contact me
