    Portable oven

    Marilynne, this is just brilliant and thank you so much for posting it. As an ex military man I'm a bit shocked that I never recognised it as a field kitchen and I never noticed the MOD crows-foot symbol either. In mitigation it is 50 years since I left and I've lost more than a few grey cells...

    Portable oven

    I came across this contraption in a large garden centre/plant nursery. It was suggested that it may have been an oven for heat-sterilising small quantities of soil or potting material but other than that I have no idea. :unsure:

    The quirky shape caught my eye and when I looked closer I saw this detail. Nikon COOLPIX S8200 ISO 100, 25mm, 1/80th @ f3.4

    Having raised the issue about UK fire hydrants in #5 I thought I would go out and shoot a proper one rather than the exemplar sign in #5. Oh my goodness, they are as rare as rocking horse manure. Within a five mile radius around my house I could only find this rather pathetic example. I queried...

    This update solves my original issue and opens up a broader approach wherever one is in the world. Now all I need is a little boost in fitness, some decent weather and if all that fails ------ a box of matches and a bucket of water. :unsure: ;)

    Thanks Needa but I think I'll pass on this one unless something totally unexpected crops up.
