We are among the thousands without power this morning after last night’s storms.
But at least we can make a cuppa with my mom and dad’s vintage camping stove from the 1960s.
Below is a photo of me and the same camping stove in a roadside parkplatz in Germany in 1971. You can just see the stove on the bottom edge about a quarter of the way along from the left.
The enlargement shows it a bit better – you can make out the top of its tin box and the kettle on the boil. And yes, that is my beautiful Mark 1 Cortina behind me.
Another day, another roadside pit-stop. Same stove, same kettle, but in Austria.
