I found this intriguing - especially as I live in London where it is never ever really dark! I loved his excuse. Does anyone know anything about the history of lighting orders? I had a quick look using google but didn't find anything of note. Ruth |

Ooops another one of mine. When they lived there they had to go down to Lane Bottom for water and carry it back up the hill. |
