of a very fine Ormonde Jayne Navidad Candle is...
Dovegreyreader! Whose idea of a quiet Christmas made me laugh, and probably you too. She wished for:
the cat not to be sick on the kitchen floor, for the children (aged 30, 28 & 26) not to argue and then for one of them not to come and tell me that the others are cheating at Monopoly, for the dog not to be sick because it's eaten 'something' that was left on the kitchen floor by the cat . I'd like for the tree not to start dropping its needles on December 22nd. I'd like not to have done a Pound Shop gift buying Christmas only to find it was a joke and everyone's spent far too much as usual ( except me). I'd like the tablecloth not to catch fire and Middle Son not to lose his eyebrows because 'hey, that's nothing like enough brandy on the pudding,' and we all recall the day he threw the aerosol can on the bonfire and nearly razed the house to the ground...
Congratulations! I do hope you don't set anyone on fire with it...
I can't thank you enough, I'm so excited, my OH less so because he remembers the year my candle (one of those with those pretty leaves and things in) burnt its way happily through New Year's Eve. Unfortunately it reached spontaneous combustion point just as we stood outside watching everyone else's fireworks at midnight. Gosh, we exclaimed as we walked back indoors, who'd have thought that smoke would come indoors...
The fire brigade are on full alert, but I feel sure inhaling tonka can only be good for me. Thank you again and a Happy Christmas x
