It's the Christmas Catalogue season again, and our letterboxes are slithering with stuff that you wouldn't want to give to your worst enemy - but that for your exceptionally annoying brother-in-law are absolutely ideal.
Owl Barn Gifts raises money for the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary. Its catalogue is full of wonders: why by page three alone we have been offered a giant robin hand warmer ("cosy armchair accessory").
It was the item at the bottom of that page which really caught my imagination, though: an Eternal Fire Lantern.
Think of that. Eternal fire. A solution to Global Warming at last!
I read on eagerly.
This freestanding coal fire lantern will make any room feel welcoming and festive this winter season. Its bright LED powered flame will light up any corner of your home and its vintage brushed effect style will add a touch of class, too. Size 11 x 8.2 x 3.9"...
...
...Requires 3 x AAA batteries (not included).
Ah well!
Word To Use Today: eternal. This word comes from the Latin aeternus, from aevum, age.
