"Dear All at Kelly Kettle,
I've wanted one of thse since I first saw something very similar on a tiny island lake, more of a big rock really, in SW Ireland whilst stopping for tea during a salmon fishing day with my father. I was given one finally in the mid 90's, since when it has been a constant companion on my many a trip away, and still it shows no sign of ageing, unlike its owner! I live in Dubai now and there is no better way to brew up when fire materials are so limited in the desert, and often the desert wind makes a conventional fire difficult. Recently it accompanied us on an overland trip all the way from Dubai to Salalah in the Dhofari region of Oman, right down near the Yemen border. Stuck in Wadi Darbat in the middle of nowhere, or on the freezing bare rock tops of Jebel Akdar, trying to capture the dawn light on camera, it provided many happy breakfast brews! I have one in UK too for fishing and fowling trips, family members have received them from me, also friends in Australia, and following a recent "tea Party" with Dubai's falconers, I have ordered two as presents for the lads here!

A marvellous tool, long live Kelly Kettle!"
