Feuerhand baby 276 lantern

[Straight Shooter]

I have five oil lamps ...old ones ....and six gallons of oil...i bought three metres of wick....and spare bits seals and mantels for the one i bought eighteen months back...reminds me of my grans small holding...no tele.... no lecy ....everything stopped for the Archers ....on that radio with those big accumulators (batteries ) my job on Saturdays was to walk the two miles to the mill to collect the charged one and drop off the spent one ....plus corn for the chickens.....walking down the mountain was a breeze.....a bit of a bugger going back up though.....the reward was home made lemonade some rock cake...welsh cakes to eat on the way back to the village.....while i delivered two dozen eggs on the way.....i can taste that rock cake right now....bloody yummy !

OOPS i forgot i bought another two oil lamps from Biology last year ....for twelve bucks...big mama,s to...but no match for the old boys...you could kill a cow at fifty paces with those buggers....i nearly succumbed myself once....i think it was about 2.30 am women just do not understand !
