    Hi everyone.
    So sorry that i have not been here in such a long time.
    Both my partner and myself have been dealing with serious medical issues, or as we like to call it ( outside medical forces beyond our control ) and it's been a very long road to recovery.
    I hope you are all well .
    Only recently, I contacted Ross, ( Our Sponsor ) and bought a comprehensive seal kit for my stoves to give them a really good fettle. Thank You Ross, the kit is simply superb.
    Also Mike at The Base Camp for the new Spindles, Jets, Needles etc etc etc. Many thanks for your help.

    I have been stripping down my Optimus 111's - 45 - and 00, all of them being Paraffin stoves to give them a new lease of life.
    It's so good to be able to just sit down in peace and quiet, and enjoy this hobby, although it is extremely infectious and sometimes frustrating at times !!.
    Anyway.., I just wanted to say 'Hi' again.
    Dave.
