Adventures with a Kelly Kettle

We went to see my publisher (Permanent Publications, and they’re also the people behind Permaculture Magazine) yesterday. It turned out to be their 20th anniversary, and as you can see we took part in the celebrations.

From left to right that’s Mary Lewis, Centre Manager for the Sustainability Centre, Penny Rose, Maddy and Tim Harland, and me. You can read Maddy Harland’s thoughts on their anniversary over on her blog (and while you’re there, check out her DIY bird box instructions and the lovely pictures of the birds in their garden).

I love being one of their authors because not only are they lovely people but they’re really green rather than light green or green washed, and yet they’re not preachy. They’re into practical solutions and having fun and just getting stuck in. Everyone who works in the office is a big fan of outdoor cooking, something I haven’t really tried yet. And so I’m chuffed to bits that they’ve given me a Kelly Kettle (a very funky camping stove) to try. You can see one in action on Alys Fowler’s allotment and they burn tiny bits of fuel to heat water or cook your food. I’m dying to try it out and make cups of tea in the garden, but it’s too cold yet – but keep an eye out as I will be using it at every opportunity and sharing my Adventures with a Kelly Kettle all summer!
