I am so pleased that the weather has turned hot again and with it has brought the inevitable BBQ. There is nothing like sitting out in the open air whilst eating a lovely meal cooked slowly over charcoal.
We have our table under a mature Lime tree and it makes for the perfect ambiance. However, there was the slightest of breeze last night and the candles, whilst a good idea at the time, kept blowing out.
We ended up putting the candles into small jam jars which works a treat but a little messy and now we are three jars less (we could clean them up but it will not be easy) for the plum jam that Donna intends to make from the windfalls in the plum orchard nearby.
I had a little trawl around the net and I found this everlasting Sun Jar Solar Light which I thought was rather novel but most of all clean and practical.
The thought of having light immediately it gets dark, especially to navigate around when the moon is not out, seems like a great idea.
The good thing also is the kids will not be tempted to play with the running wax and make the table messy either.
The only thing I could not find is how long the light lasts for. At near on twenty quid I would want two summers from it at least.
