The old and the new

So here I sit in my bedroom ,typing this blog on my beloved laptop computer (a very generous 30th birthday present from my parents), instead of electric lights my room is lit with several candles. Of course I do have electris lights and I use them most of the time, especially when I cross-stitch, but there is something about the soft muted tones of candlelight that I love. I no longer have a bedside lamp, instead I use candles, they give my room a wonderful, warm rich feeling.
