Here’s my latest candlestick creation. It’s made from the chopped-off base and legs from an old circular table (found in a skip, of course!) and a rusty metal ring for the candle holder itself.

I’ve just been given my first Moleskine notebook (by my friend TS , who says I never mention her in my Blog posts!) and I must say it’s every bit as good as the adverts / general consensus seems to indicate.. . .
