Four Candles

My Dutch Christmas chime is driven by candlepower, but the specific candles are hard to find and are hideously expensive.


However, this year I've managed to solve the problem by using the thermoelectric fan we have on the log burner to drive the chime.


Hay's checking all the Christmas decorations and lights before we put them up later this month. Last year she managed to decorate all of the garden in white.


It took her simply ages to get that effect.

I wonder when Christmas will have its name commercialised, more in keeping with what it actually is, a commercial holiday celebrating excess and conspicuous consumption. How about Amazonmas or, following on from Black Friday, Black Mass? ......
