[DSB] My mother living in the wilderness with this governess and these brothers – she grew up like a tomboy and dressed always like a boy, short hair. And they used to shoot to eat. But this governess who had to teach them everything… and they learned well, she got them to… she was very, very young when she left school too… but after she eventually got there… but they used to have these nature walks, and the governess used to show them all the wildlife that was around on the ground, and the plants and things like that of Africa and I think her looking at the environment started out there.
