The cadle is missing, but it was afternoon and votiv scenes seem to be more in darkness to be illuminatied with a candle. I have candles at home, but have no idea where they are. Mr. Swiss was the candle expert, being Swiss etc. and he would have found one or two somewhere. However, this is a table decoration in his Golden Oldie home that seems to be hand carved.

I am now looking forward to a peaceful and quiet rest of the day. I have had enough excitement this week, sorting family affairs for my handicapped son and now it is week-end, an advantage is that no-one is working and there will be no phone calls or post to deal with. I heard that my neighbour is cuttingt down his hedge in the garden next door. He found it was growing too high and also said he would attack the hedge between our gardens. I find that is OK, as long as I do not have to do anything. I am getting too old for such capers. He is a young man and still active.
