    They can be filled with pine cones, lights, baubles, a candle. They are real.glass hurricane lamps so very versatile.

    They’re beautiful. I’ve read a few of Sarah’s books, they’re great light reads. I’ve just bought the new Heidi Swain autumn one which is lovely.

    Happy birthday for tomorrow 🥳

    Might have a look at her.

    I need a light read whilst studying for a PhD!

    Any that are really good that you recommend?

    I love Santa Montefiore’s books I get really absorbed in the stories. Carole Mathews and Cathy Bramley are both great for light reads in the same vein as Sarah Morgan.

    Thanks Sun. I have read all of her books now so could do with a replacement read.

    I also loved Sophie Kinsella but she has sadly passed away. X
