My Fireplace World

Since the beginning of time man has been drawn to the living flame. Over 100,000yrs ago man created fire and discovered its benefits. Protection, warmth and of course a transformation in the preparation of food. Imagine a life where you could only eat cold uncooked food.

But back to the allure of fire and its almost magical attraction. There is something romantic about gathering around a natural fire, as a large group of friends at a celebratory gathering or more intimately as a couple toasting marshmallows under a starlit sky. If alone in a deserted area, desert, scrub or the arctic wasteland there is a certain comfort and feeling of safety to be derived from close proximity to a fire.

Why…………nobody knows, but one thing is for sure, 100,000 yrs of evolution is not going to be eroded overnight and I’m sure people will continue to fell the same way about fire that our ancestors have felt for a very long time.
