Talking of smells…

Are there any particular smells that remind you of a certain person or event ?

Deep Heat muscle rub always reminds me of my gran, she swore by it and I find it helps with aches and pains but has quite a strong smell so I only use it if I’m not going out !

When I was very young my father was a farrier and shod all the farm horses of the neighbouring farms. I still remember the burning smell when he held the hot shoe against the horse’s hoof to get a proper fit.

Forget-me-not perfume … always reminds me of my gran.

Cow muck.
Reminds me of when I was a kid and used to stand balanced on an old tree stump on one leg in my garden so I could peer over the top of the hedge and watch the cows coming home for milking. Every day, come rain or shine I loved to watch them.

Play doh!
I started school at the age of five in 1967 in Richmond upon Thames, hated it! Miss Collins dished out the Play doh…I can still smell it to this very day! :slightly_frowning_face:

My dad’s overalls when he worked a painter and decorator. I can still imagine the smell of them, and it represented him.
