Where to start…

Hello there, my name is Andrea Balch living mainly in the sunny shores of Australia, Queensland.

Our webmaster being ME for now…..

Site reviewer, ‘feature sites’ judge and jury, traffic analyst, marketing specialist; chief cook, bottle washer, and keyboard duster.

I welcome you to my corner of the World Wide Web!

And oh, did I mention ‘site project facilitator as well?

Does that sound exhausting?

Well try doing all of it.

You would think that living in sunny old Queensland that you don’t need a fire? Well, you would be wring there.

We do, in fact it get darn right cold in the winter nights…

Having a trusty old looking electric fire stove. Portable. and in a big way.

As I have it sent back from overseas.

Now that’s portable!

Spending allot of my time in Europe, you get to appreciate the good old fireplace and there are allot of them.

With the chimneys of the houses billowing with smoke in the cold times. The fireplace graces the houses old and new.

I have loved the good old fireplace forever, mesmerised by the filckering flame and cosy atmosphere that the fire place has to offer through history and now.

I could not go past making a website on how fire has shaped us and the universe and sharing the warmpth…

Get it!

Anyway…

Fire is such a good subject to talk about and share just how fire has come through history till today.

If you are interested in the history of fire and us, and of course fireplaces which I am sure you are, else you would not be here…

Become enlightened to the evolution of the fireplace and how it benefits us today as with the past is a very interesting journey
