Hello everyone, I would like to tell you about an experiment a lacemaker set up at the AGM in Sydney. She brought her "lacemaker lamps", I think there were more than one on the stand, lit up the candles, turned the lights off and - the light from the lamps was so poor that one could not make any lace or read or really do anything else than have a good conversation with anybody who was in the room.
I heard stories that lacemakers sat in circles a few rows deep around the lamps, the better ones sat closest and the beginners a few rows out. This experiment proved that they were stories only. In the days when people used candles most people went to bed with chickens and got up with chickens as the daylight ruled their lives. Also the candles were very expensive and were used sparingly. I think that one has to be a bit cautious to believe everything one hears - believable or not. The above experiment was an example.
