Scent-sational

I am surrounded by beautiful smells today!

Just goes to show that whatever ails me at the moment can't be nose-related!!

I opened the kitchen window to let Gorgeous in, this afternoon, and got a glorious scent of roses from the garden.

I planted three rose bushes, in pots, about 4 years ago, deliberately getting roses with a fragrance - I always find scentless roses such a let-down, don't you? Anyway, they usually give me one or two roses each and that's about it, but this year I decided to try feeding them!!! Amazing results! Gosh, who'd a thunk it???

I have been rewarded for my kindness! There are about 6 roses open at the moment, and about a dozen more buds yet to open! I am thrilled, and delighted with my fragrant garden!

The next lovely scent to assail my senses (well one of them anyway!) was the smell of sweet and sour pork bubbling away on the cooker. Yum!

I am delighted to be able to tell you that it tasted as good as it smelt....and I have empty plates to prove it!

Then, last but by no means least, as I sat, trying not to doze off in front of the telly, I was given a big, lusty hug from a vase of freesias on the table - second favourite flower fragrance, I think, after roses!!

I bought the freesias in Lidl at the weekend. They didn't look like much at the time, but boy are they making up for it!! Looking good and smelling amazing!

All in all, I think I am very grateful for my scent-sational afternoon and evening.

Now....do I smell the enticing fragrance of a hot whisky?????

Gratefully yours.
