  • We had one of those little brass candle powered things  when we were children, Edd. 

    My MIL has one of the wonderful German wooden ones - if you google German Christmas Pyramids you'll see some amazing examples. image

  • That's exactly like the one we had Edd - I remember Ma buying it from Footman & Pretty's department store in Ipswich - I wonder where it is now - I don't remember coming across it when we cleared the house ... I expect it's been discarded image

    I'd love one of those big wooden ones image

    Thats brilliant Ed, think we need some step by step instructions please

    By the way, we bought one of those angel candle thingys last year to replace the one from way back, they are still the same.
