Scent is so evocative and, rather curiously, linked with our sense of taste. The jasmine will be flowering in the next day or so, now that really packs a kknockout fragrance. I still love scented roses, lavender and clover!Trisha xxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241735304163665205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33750459.post-33376334637401435732009-06-27T06:33:08.829+00:002009-06-27T06:33:08.829+00:00Ah yes, waft - thank you, Arabella.

However at this time of year it's a bit more than a waft, more like a heady cocktail. More intoxicating than I can remember any alcoholic beverage having.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905137222286141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33750459.post-15265366045295033282009-06-26T20:41:58.765+00:002009-06-26T20:41:58.765+00:00An inhalation?

Sweet williams transport me back to childhood as does wild garlic and bluebells. At the moment there is a wonderful waft of cedar wood around the garden from the yet to be constructed greenhouse!Arabella Sockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936438011119860497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33750459.post-73826845872839901982009-06-26T18:34:15.951+00:002009-06-26T18:34:15.951+00:00We've had a couple of hours of steady rain thi...We've had a couple of hours of steady rain this morning which served to concentrate the scent of my 'Rambling Rector' into knockout proportions. I've been hanging out the window taking in vast lungfuls :)<br /><br />Have a great weekend!<br /><br />PS Must do a post about the origins of the name Pity Me sometime...VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.com
