By candle light

I've always been completely candle-light crazy. As I sit here typing, I do so by candlelight....I even snapped off the lights yesterday afternoon to enjoy a rather late lunch, and wantonly used the last of those beautiful burgundy hand rolled beeswax candles to dine by....and what was the menu? Alas, nothing even gourmet or romantic, just plain ol' tea, honey and crumpets. It is so restful to dine by candlelight. The flickering light and shadows thrown about by that light lifts any ordinary moment to grander heights. Electric light is so harsh, even with pink bulbs and shaded lamps.
