They are actually pretty still common around here for the older residents at least. And they certainly add an interesting smell to the air on cold days too.<br /><br />Katerina, oh, the stories I could tell! Wait, I think that's why I'm here. Stay tuned!<br /><br />Nicki, benvenuta also to you! Actually, I'll confess, I do have central heating--which is why there weren't pictures of me starting up my braciere ;) They are good, though, when it's just a little chilly and you just need your toes warm. But all that work!<br /><br />Christine, you wouldn't believe how many times I've said "s/he looks just like...." and then filled in the name of some Italian-American my family knew in the States. It's eerie. Ms A, benvenuta! They are actually pretty still common around here for the older residents at least. And they certainly add an interesting smell to the air on cold days too.
