Angel Chimes
A Christmas edition of this feature that I was reminded of when Mrs A and I visited the Christmas Shop in Lechlade this weekend. They were selling them as the original Swedish Angel Chimes. I didn’t realise they were Swedish in origin, but they must have been the feature of many households in the 1970s. We had one, my friend who lived across the road had one at his house and Mrs A had one too!
I found a You Tube clip, but it didn’t have very good sound, so I’ve put in this photo. When the candles are lit, the heat drives the top round and round causing the bars hanging under the angels to strike the bells.
Lovely!
Did anyone else have one of these?
