    This morning I received the sad news that my grandad passed away after a stay in hospital. He was more like a father to me after my actual father left when I was 8. He introduced me to paeaffin lamps and these are his 2 that he gave me. 20200815_201505.jpg
    Ive lit them both tonight in his memory.

    Please light your lamps for him and share your pics [-o<

    I truly feel for you Gareth, my Grandad died in 1966 but he and my Grannie more or less brought me up during the war and I actually called them Mam and Dad. I inherited their Grandfather clock a few years ago and think about them especially on a Sunday morning when I wind it up just as Grandad did every Sunday.

    So sorry to hear your news, it is never easy. My thoughts are with you and the family. Two Bialaddin 305 (1964 and 1965) running now, in memory. Stay safe.

    My condolences, Gareth. A Tilley that wandered over to Canada is lit in his memory.
