Default Favourite candles.

I'm obsessed at the minute with candles.

My summer house smells like a brothel.

Do you have any recommendations?

I love a Yankee candle. I have also tried some from tkmaxx, DW range but they're hit and miss.

I love xmassy smelling ones over the winter.
The rest of the year we tend to have large pillar candles in hurricane lamps...all battery and on timed.

Yes, I agree. I have an M&S big pillar I haven't yet burnt, it even has berries and pinecones in. God knows how the pines will burn

Yankees are fail proof. I love Christmas magic

They are not at all if you apply common sense.

Ie, not leaving unattended and securing them. I have a candle plate so even if one was to smash nothing would happen. I also have glass lanterns which protects
