We had the torch, candles, gas stove and the battery radio - and we still couldn't do much. Amazing how little light candles actually give - not enough to read by even.

Last year my Mum and Dad were forced to camp round ours... After a particularly bad storm. That's all they have. We use the log burner, oil fired Rayburn, battery powered radio and torches, candles and a gas lamp so can be quite cosy.
