Hatters castle is home to the fff.
It was built in the early 1950"s on the beach in Tiwi, twenty kilometers south of Mombasa in Kenya.The most beautiful beach on the east African coast.

".....when we moved into the house it had not been lived in for more than five years and was in a terrible state of repair. We had to evict 30 homeless goats before we could even start. The ground floor had 6 inches of water and was a playground for most of the world's mosquito population, the top floor above the goats residence was the local bat headquarters.

"....it basically started out of a necessity, I needed some furniture for the house. I asked a friend if he knew anyone who could make some of the furniture like I had seen around the local villages........I contracted my new worker to make a few things for my new castle, ........as soon as something was ready someone would come along and ask if they could buy it......yes, he still works for us now together with many other craftsmen.
