Top five - smells

The sense of smell is a powerful thing indeed. Some smells bring pure joy, others connect you with past experiences, and still others build anticipation of good things to come.
These are my top 5 smells:

1. The smell of the dirt as the first heavy drops of rain from a thunderstorm beat down.
2. The smell of sizzling garlic in a wok.
3. The smell of freshly cut grass on a summers day.
4. The smell of freshly ground coffee.
5. The smell of jasmine flowers.


Oh there could have been so many others...

I love the smell of salt in the air from sea spray as waves crash in to a point.

I love the smell of a new book

And yes, the smell of fresh coffee!

Must be time to make a cuppa.
