    Hello dear friends,

    Some of you would remember that I left my country Turkey in 2017 to my next career that was in Bosnia Hercegovina (BH).

    As of beginning 2022 I have completed my abroad work and returned back home. Actually my work was planned as 3 years but due to conditions my company requested me to stay more, and I accepted.

    Due to scope of old law in my country I deserve retirement ay my 53! So I terminated my occupation and applied to the government for starting retirement process.

    God knows after sometime I would consider working life back or not. But for the moment, after 5 years living abroad, I feel so happy being at home.

    I missed all of you and our great site classiccampstoves.

    All the best
    Sefa

    @sefaudi Great news Sefa. We’ve missed you.

    Is your stove collection intact? Plenty of fettling in prospect to get them working.

    I must ask, are you likely to put pump cup leathers back into production?!!!

    Welcome back, so many of us missed you. Many new folks need some of your kits if you get back to making them.

    Well hello again Sefa,
    You were missed.
    I wish you and yours all the best in 2022! (good riddance 2021).
    To retire is option for you, good for you, CONGRATS!!!
    re ... after sometime I would consider working ... good luck with future endeavors.

    For many of us work takes us away, so
    most of all it is good to hear that you "...feel so happy being at home".
    Welcome home.

    My Dear Brother Sefa!

    What wonderful news!! Sweet Bride and I have kept you and your family in our nightly prayers ever since you left to work abroad, and now, our prayers have been answered!! Tonight, we will thank God for bringing you back home, safe and sound!! Thank you, so very much, for sharing this excellent news with us all, and I join the chorus of "Welcome Home", (and as @ArchMc so rightly wrote) "both to Turkey and CCS"!!! Talk to you soon, and God Bless you and yours, always!

    Sefa, let me join the welcomes.

    I'd be most interested if one day you'd describe work and life in Bosnia-Herzogovina, which I would think would have its challenges. Any forays into the Balkan mountains?

    Welcome back. As mentioned, there is a market for your pump leathers, if you have the time in retirement.
