Sorry for the lateness, my feed stopped updating.

We usually prove on a shelf of a desk which happens to be beside a 
radiator (about 30cm above it). During the time of year when the heating 
is on, this works very well for almost anything that needs rising time, 
sourdough, focaccia, pizza... In summer I would probably leave the bowl 
on the end of the kitchen table in the sun, if it's shining; if not, I'd 
have to think of something else.
