Candle Lantern

Old candle hanging on

Yesterday while out shopping I bought a new plate to sit in the bottom of the lantern that sits on my coffee table. Like an impatient child I couldn't wait for the current candle to give up the ghost and snuff it so to speak. Marta and I must have lit it at about 3pm this afternoon and I'm truly amazed by the amount of time it held on for. Your normal average person would have thrown the whole lot in the bin but I had to see it through to the end. Like children Marta and I watched the last flickering flame struggling to hold on until eventually it was out and dead. Strange the little things we can get engrossed in.
