I thought it was my eternal sinusitis

Mmmmm.... I can smell it now!
It was also great for roller skating on when it had dried - SO smooth

I always enjoyed those days out and can remember the smell after it had rained.
I took my daughter and her friends to a forest for Go Ape as a birthday pressie. Never gave it a thought. Think we were there about 2/3 hrs. After half an hour.... oh dear me did I feel it. Suffered for about 2 weeks after

Re: Smelly Memories
Sorry in advance.One smell I can never forget - and when I'm in the supermarket and see the product on the shelf - I often go back to the smell.
Not a pleasant one either.
Zoflora disinfectant and ridding the smell of death.
I will try and come up with a nice smellyvision (hopefully)
