Great-granddaughter Ingrid Dugand I remember my mother telling me that she bought her land in Karen from Karen Blixen and removed the coffee that Karen had tried to grow and put cows in instead. She had a dairy called Park Grange. I remember being told that when Lord Erroll’s body was found it was by Dorothea’s milkmen on their way to work - that was her land.
