Taking the long way home from Japan to Frome, UK

Hey Mr Postman…

Exciting deliveries keep arriving.

Foremost is the fridge; a Japanese design called Engel. We decided on the MT17F which gives us enough room for milk, a small amount of fresh produce and beer – a total capacity of 15 litres. We oohed and aahed about whether we needed a fridge but in the end decided that it would be useful. Incidentally, the fridge weighs the same amount as the fat we want to loose over the next 6 months! He taketh and he giveth 🙂

Then we have my super cute Dutch Oven made by a Japanese company called Snow Peak. They manufacture beautifully designed ‘outdoor’ stuff that is, as you can imagine, exquisitely made. The lid, as you can see, functions as a separate grill too. I have a list as long as my arm of Snow Peak things I want!

Slightly less exciting are the water containers – 2 x 20 litre capacity.

And a power tool too….Battery powered, so when we send it back home with our shipping, we don’t have to worry about it being the wrong voltage.

    I carried a “Stanley” thermos food jar ( http://www.stanley-pmi.com/store/stanley/en_US/pd/productID.323680700 ) for making my oats in the morning and for a lunch time soup. I found with just a single burner stove I could make the oats and get them into the thermos and then by the time I had coffee done the oats would be near enough to ready to eat.
