If I was late, there was a very big stick waiting for me.” IfsBigsRunningSchoolWaitingWalksSixLateRiversSticksMilesFarmsMiles AwayGorges Author:Haile Gebrselassie
“I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills. The Equator runs across these highlands, a hundred miles to the North, and the farm lay at an altitude of over six thousand feet. In the day-time you felt that you had got high up, near to the sun, but the early mornings and evenings were limpid and restful, and the nights were cold.” BookRunningNightFeltMorningSunFeetColdThousandSixHundredLaysMilesEveningHillsFarmsEarly MorningRestfulEquator Book:Out of Africa Source: Out of Africa
