Hi Kathleen, my grandmother had a brass parafin lamp which was lit every night. Many is the night I did my homework in the circle of light. Gran would polish it with Brasso when visitos were expected. Faces were soft and ageless and the spiders spun all all night without being seen. What lovely memories you bring back.
