A...Yes, I enjoyed this post too, Lydia, thank you. A couple of months ago on this site I blogged about the whaling industry in Biarritz and the riches of the whale's liquid 'gold': its oil. Another majorly important source of light fuel was olive oil. Since millennia, all across the Mediterranean. <br />Clare, I have a couple candle snuffers too and also enjoy burning the candle at both ends!<br />Lydia, I love the jackets for your two previous books. <br />Carol Drinkwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837854482139736944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-47291140841226847112014-12-06T17:40:02.548+00:002014-12-06T17:40:02.548+00:00I liked it too, I love candle snuffers and I like ...I liked it too, I love candle snuffers and I like burning the candle at both ends too!

I knew about the importance of the self-trimming wick before, but it's nice to know there are other people out there who like odd historical facts too. It's fun to look out for the snuffing 'scissors', both at antiques fairs, and in historical images.Becca McCallumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339982441409936532noreply@blogger.com
