*Just for fun* Memories
Good morning farmers.
This one is just for fun!
A little different, you know how sometimes you hear a song and it transports you back to a moment in time? Well the same can be said for scents/smells.
So tell us, what smell reminds you of something? It can be anything, good or bad!
Mine is a certain green soap. I cannot remember the name of it but everytime I smell it, it reminds me of my grandparents house.
The smell of tomatoes on their vines still, always remind me of my grandad who was a keen gardener.
What about you? Do you have any memories to share from smelling certain things?

Hello @Lady_Choo. Thank you for the beautiful thread.
Yes, there are indeed memories from my childhood. During my grandma's summer holidays, we were always allowed to pick up the pears that had fallen from the tree to the ground. Many pears were already a bit mushy and exuded a sweet scent. The scent also came into our noses when my grandma prepared "heaven and earth" for dinner (potatoes with warm pear compote). We liked to eat it.
My grandma also smelled of lavender everywhere because she had lavender bags in her cupboards everywhere. It's also a good memory because it was always so cozy with my grandma.

I love that memory @DieOmimi I haven't heard of that dish. It sounds nice.
Grandparent memories are the best I think. Mine used to keep scented bags to keep moths away in her clothes cupboards. Its funny the things you forget.
My grandad often smelt of geraniums as that was his favourite plant and he had the all over the house. Its not a smell I like but it does reminds me of him 🙂

@Lady_Choo I wasn't really allowed to get to know my grandfather. When he died, I was only 2 years old.
We always liked to go to my grandma's, always during the holidays, even in winter. She only had two rooms. A kitchen-cum-living room with stove in which fire was made. And a bedroom that was always cold. When we children (my sister and I) had to go to bed, she always preheated the beds with a hot water bottle. 50 years ago they were still thick feather beds, which also had their own but pleasant smell.
Also in the morning at breakfast, when there was warm cocoa, is a good memory. I think all children love cocoa. It also exudes a sweet, pleasant scent.
On Wednesdays there was always fresh bot at the village baker. We children were sent there to pick it up. It was still very warm and also has a pleasant scent. We couldn't wait to get some of the warm bread quickly. In winter there was fresh goose lard. I still like that today.

Hi lovely @Lady_Choo for this thread, and dear @DieOmimi, oh my goodness hasn't your stories triggered my childhood memories, not that I am far away from them as they are always close. I grew up on a farm and very involved, hence my love for gardening, growing crops, and animals, which is why I love this particular King game so much.
I am perceptive to all country smells as it triggers much joy in so many scenarios, but the one that is outstanding for me is spiritual, and that is of my dear Auntie Doris, we all lived together as a family with grandparents. She loved Lily of the Valley, and had soap, talc, etc We spent a lot of time together and she was like my mum. I learnt a great deal from her, and still miss her. Doesn't matter what I am doing, whether I need her reassurance or love, she knows when I need it and I will smell Lily of the Valley xxx ❤️🌈🌾

Once upon a time, a small but precocious child got a chemistry set as a gift. Once day, after doing most of the more interesting experiments in the kit, this small but precocious child got bored, and decided to create his own experiment. After mixing various chemicals together, with little result, he shrugged, and just dumped everything into the beaker. A huge cloud exploded from the resultant intensely green goo, and a horrible, horrible smell filled the room. Panicking, the small but precocious child grabbed the beaker and dumped the mess into the kitchen sink trying to wash it down the drasin. But, it just made the green goo foam up and smell even worse. It foamed and foamed, growing, and growing, until iyt began to escape over the edge of the sink. And the SMELL! It was indescribable, but seemed to have a large part of rotten eggs. And the small precocious child distinctly heard and evil laugh emanating from the sink!
"Ahhh! It's after me! Run away! We're all gonna die!"
Eventually, it stopped foaming, and the smell faded, but The goo had foreverever stained the small precocious child's Mom's Sink a bilious green. And was said Mom angry about that? Yes, yes she was. And to this day, that smell evokes a feeling of impending doom!

@Lady_Choo Hahahaha Hahahaha I have a few in mind that are good and bad first the good was my Grandmother, she would always cook a big meal when we went for a visit, she would make such great things like her fried chicken which smelled her house up and outside too I remember the air would be filled with the aroma of her golden brown fried chicken along with her biscuits homemade from scratch they were so flaky and buttery oh how I would love some today. ♥️💯 I can make my own but not like hers.
Now the bad was my Great Aunt Philys, when we would go there about 2 miles before we got there I would puke, just throw my gute up like I was going to die, then all the way there I was puking in a trash bag my Dad would bring with us because they knew I was going to puke my guts out even knowing this we would visit my Great Aunt Philys she was kind, sweet, nice, gentle and beautiful but I could only puke...Yuck ! The whole last 2 miles to her house and the whole time there I was sick and could only stay in my Dad's car because, well see my Great Aunt Philys was a Hog Farmer and it smelled like pig s**t for 2 miles before you got to her house and I smelled it very clear....There you go good and bad smells🙃😝😜😉😎♥️💯my friend @Lady_Sarina said she likes reading stories from Farm Hero Saga so here's you a True story.
