Well, modest or not so modest, Mr and Mrs Jock like to have a hot cup of coffee or tea with our picnic. To that end we have our constant picnic companion the "Kelly Kettle". Invented some 100 years ago, some 2 pints of water can be boiled in all weathers, swiftly,safely and with a minimum of fuel---- just a few twigs picked up on your travels, or a handful wood bits from the bottom of the wood basket at home, before venturing afield.

Getting ready.




Getting up steam.



Voila! Boiling water for a cuppa in less than five minutes and another brew on the way.
