Subject: RE: BS: What do you call the memory of a smell?
The smell of damp and pipe tobacco takes me straight to my grandparents' house. Tarry coal burning, I'm in the Isle of Man, it's hot, it's 1962. Boiled eggs are my 3rd birthday, sunshine, salad with boiled ham in the bay window, Mum in a white print dress.
