Olympic Fever Grips Cornwall

The build up to the Olympics has well and truly begun with the torch touching down for the first time on Cornish soil. Just down the road from us here at St Eval we saw the torch carried aloft through Newquay with pride by various local sporting heroes! The atmosphere was electric you couldn't help but get caught up by Olympic fever - albeit very briefly!

The Olympic Flame commemorates the theft of fire from the Greek god Zeus by Prometheus, its origins lie in ancient Greece, where a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics. The fire was reintroduced at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam,and it has been part of the modern Olympic Games ever since.

Being a candle company we are fully aware of the beauty of fire when managed correctly please see our tips below for getting a winning flame from your candles:

TIPS

Always trim the wick to a quarter of an inch before each burn.

When you light your candle for the first time let it burn so the wax melts and 

pools right to the edge.

                                                 Keep the wax pool free of debris.

                             Always place candles in well ventilated rooms but away from draughts.

              

                                      Avoid direct sunlight and other heat sources.

Thanks for taking the time to read our blog, we would love to see your photos of
 the torch coming to your area!
