ABC Wednesday - L

It's Wednesday again, and time for ABC Wednesday hosted by Mrs Nesbitt.

This week the letter is L.

L is for Local Lake.

I stopped to take these photos yesterday, on the way to the supermarket to buy metal polish (my brass needs cleaning!)

The Punts (Local name for smallish rowing boat, not a flat-bottomed 'Oxbridge' conveyance) are still high and dry, but they'll be in the water soon.

Another photo, showing the road with my patient hubby waiting in the red car.

So there I was, cleaning some brass, when I realised that I was cleaning a
Little Lantern!

I've no idea how old this is.
It's about 7 inches tall (about 18 cm)
We were given this by some friends who had two daughters and a horse-drawn gypsy caravan.
Actually, the two girls gave it to our children.
We were moving to our Irish island, with no electricity, and they felt it would be a safer nightlight than an open candle.
It served well for years.

Shining in the dark.

Happy Wednesday to you all.
