Bought a heater!

Got one.

A Parasene Superwarm 4 - yes a 4 not a 3, Paraffin Greenhouse Heater!



What a beauty!!

Bought it from;


Other retailers are avaialble.

Its burning away, the cost of paraffin these days - shocking. Will let you know how well it worked tomorrow.

Takes me back to the old camping days, the rain hammering down on the tent, the sleeping bags soaking wet, clothes all damp, children ratty, fighting, crying, spending a fortune on things to do in the day rather than sitting on the beach, cows mooing at two in the morning, walking accross a muddy field for a jimmy riddle, treading in cow depositries, the wind whipping the guy ropes, the Tilly lamp burning brightly, burnt paraffin fumes choking the air, opening the tent up for ventilation, the driving rain, the howling gales - come to think of it, I don't go camping any more, I wonder why? 

If i did I would take my new heater with me. Would leave the tortoises at home though.

  1. Hello Paulo, just interested in knowing what your Mrs thinks of having the tortoises in the kitchen. Doesn't their run get in her way when she's slogging?
