Pipe smoke. It is not a smell I come across very often these days but it reminds me of my grandparents house and my grandad sitting in his chair reading the paper whilst smoking his pipe. Just a whiff of it brings back happy childhood memories

Waking up to the smell of my mums roast dinners.

Yes you read right waking up. Saturday night was always a good night and I'd sleep through to mid day till my breakfast of roast dinner. Glad to say I grew out of that...

Otherwise,
