Always take a pack of candles and a phone battery pack or two to holiday houses in remote parts of Wales in case the electricity goes down due to a storm. I had neither but did manage not to trip on an errant rug in pitch black, narrowly avoiding crashing through the conservatory window. Just.
Tip 2: don’t call the property maintenance guy for the property a smug bastard on the rapidly power diminishing phone when he tells you his electric is down too but just picking up a Chinese takeaway on his way back from the pub. I was tempted.
