A few pals dropped round the other evening and somehow we ended up chatting about what smells/scents/aromas we remember from childhood.

We all agreed the aroma of home baking/cooking, and stinky stuff for cleaning.

Vinegar and water, duraglit/brasso and ammonia.
However none of us could remember what it was used for !

Any childhood memories of smells?

My granny's pants boiling in a massive pan.
The peat fire and granny's soda bread baking....and because it sometimes rains in Ireland the smell of the wet thatch on the roof seeping down into the bedroom.....x
Lived close to a garage growing up and loved the smell of petrol when the tanks were being filled.
Mamyalynne, no, don't recall that company. I also remember loving the smell of the Fish Market, before it became a glorified frozen food and chicken place, most people hated it!
Well I can't decide between Clover's granny's pants or Maggies petrol for the oddest memory smell..... :-)
Scented erasers whilst at school.
Old dusty linoleum from grans house. Germoline, hated it. Resin from chopping logs for firewood. Cabbage cooking on a Sunday lunchtime.
