St Ethelburga - prep
Well who knew that 120 candles could be so bloody heavy!
The preparations for the feast of St Ethelburgas is going well and I think it is on track. I bought some wonderful candle holders earlier in the month and I have been hunting for reasonably cheap long candles, the first try of getting sainburys basic was a complete failure. However, from the wonderful but rather strange shop Butlers (who are a German firm and don't have many branches in the UK) I found some quality ones cheaply. I bought 3 last week to test out and they were excellent so yesterday on the way home from work I bought 3 boxes of 40 for 10 quid (in total rather than each) ! Great value but it nearly killed me getting them home from Islington!!
Also last Saturday a few of us spent the afternoon in Archway painting table cloths and they are looking excellent! Really splendid.
Here is a photo me drinking tea and the very excellent table cloths.
More painting at next weeks revel
