My Dad used to have a tin of the small cigars then and I am now struggling to rember the brand :-|

Delicious seasonal smell for me was cigar smoke.

I remember our open fire when I was small. Dad was a cabinet maker and all the offcuts went on it. Each type of wood had a different smell and at Xmas we used to burn pine cones collected as they fell in Autumn such a lovely smell. Add to that all the orange peel and the smell was delicious, so seasonal. That has bought back a lot of happy memories to me

I moved from the house that had it in and really missed it. I would love an old house with an open fire

ZZzzz

ZZzzz Report 13 Mar 2021 22:22

There is now.

Yes but ours cracked the back boiler so we had to treat it like an open fire. Then we bought the house and had the parkray taken out, a gas cylinder put in the garden, back then there wasn't any mains gas in the village.
