Afrikaanse Kersie (desember vakansie).
Desember vakansie is ons suid-afrikaners se dna, net soos braaidag springbok rugby - ons kan eenvoudig nie daarsonder nie. Ons werk onsself dood die hele jaar sodat ons vir twee weke die stuk kan neersit see toe. Die venter waentjie wat net een keer per jaar gebruik en so vol gelaai dat drie van ons vier dogters op hom moes sit om die metaal armpie om sy lippie te kon haak. Dan moet iemand altyd agter staan en seker maak dat al die nodige liggies werk...wat in my leeftyd nooit die geval was nie!
Maar almal wat in die 80's en vroeë 90's grootgeword het en lang afstande gery het om by die see uit te kom, sal kan onthou dat padkos GROOT was. Daar was nie 'n wimpy of steers langs die pad waar 'n mens kon stop vir 'n koffie en hamburger nie. Nope. Ma begin al twee dae voor die tyd die roomysbakke wat sy die hele jaar opspaar uitwas, nat lappies word eenkant gesit en lysie gemaak van alles wat gekook en gebraai moet word. Op ons spyskaar t was altyd gekookte eiers, boerewors, frikkadelle, hoenderstukkies en kaas toebroodjies. Wanneer daardie roomysbakke ingelaai word was ek sommer dadelik honger en konnie wag om aan die ry te kom sodat ons kan stop om te eet nie (ek was as kind baie lief vir eet).
Na so drie ure se ry het almal begin uitkyk vir die boompies en die wit sement bankies langs die pad. Sodra on stop peul almal by die deure uit, elkeen met 'n roomysbak onder die arm. Ek het altyd eerste vir die broodjies gegaan, ek sien nog in my geestesoog hoe my ma dit met baie liefde toedraai in waspapier...ek dink die die liefde eerder as die broodjie wat so soet op my tong geval het.
Die pad see toe was lank, en oorslaap was nie deel van die woordeskat nie. Ons kinders het na 6 ure op die pad begin om mekaar se hare te trek, te kryp, te terg...enigiets om die tyd om te kry. En dan kom die gebruiklike woorde van voor: "kom ons kyk wie sien eerste die see".

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
First burn: minimum 2 hours
On first light, burn until the wax melts across the full surface of the jar. This creates the burn memory and prevents tunnelling. It may take longer than 2 hours — be patient.
Trim your wick before every burn
Trim to approx 5mm before each use. This promotes an even burn, prevents mushrooming, and stops the inside of the vessel from going black. It also prolongs the life of your candle.
Don’t burn for longer than 4 hours at a time
Burning too long makes the jar very hot, reduces total burn time, and can damage the wick. If you love having a candle burning all day, rotate between two candles of a similar scent.
Keep away from children and pets
Always burn in a safe place, away from flammable materials, draughts and direct sunlight.
What Our Customers Say
Jamie De ClerkNovember 2024I've been fortunate enough to experience several products from Brink of Touch, including their candles, diffuser, and room mist. Every item I've used is of the highest quality and never fails to impress. The quality and aromas are truly out of this world.
Jacey GriebenowDecember 2024My absolute favourite corporate gifts ever! The attention to detail with the label designs, together with the top tier quality and variety of these fragrances, just continues to blow me away. You've got a client for life with me.
Sharon Phillips-DaviesAugust 2025Based in the UK, I came across their Fynbos diffuser on holiday in Kalk Bay and fell in love with the smell. It lasted so long and is so authentic. I received so many compliments on my return home that I had to place another order.
Mariane LihoreauJanuary 2025An incredible company. I had a small problem with a candle purchased for Christmas. The owner was kind enough to send me two candles. It is rare to see companies as professional with such kindness and generosity.
