Walking on the road in the country, on a dark night, and you come to an area where suddenly the scent of the NIGHT JASMINE permeates the air. WOW.

Yes, what a rush that is. Almost knocks you off your feet.

That's how I feel abut lilacs.. and they are just about to come in season... I go out and cut them and put vases of them all over the house..

As a kid I used to love to stick my head out the window and smell gasoline..

and weirdly enough I love the smell of my dogs feet ... LOL... now dont get all wiggy on me..

of course I love other smells...the sea, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, a roaring fire, the ground after a good hard rain, the smell of clean sheets, tropical air and a bath full of bubbles...

an absolutely great smell...it really brings back memories of drinking fever grass tea and eating bammie before walking to school in the mornings

You lucky boy! being able to drink fever grass tea and eating bammy before walking to school in the morning. Could I have been so LUCKY! I know I WAS SHORT CHANGED on my bammy as a kid, you had it in the mornings! Cheers to you Neutral, for eating enough on my behalf.

you mean you didn`t receive your fair share of bammies? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] oh boy!,thats tough,that sort of thing can make a boy grow into an unstable adult [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

seriously though barosa,I am glad for those days eating bammie,in those days bammie was bammie,none of this stuff they try and pass off as "bammie" at middle quarters last time I passed through there.
admittedly,my bammie eating days are firmly in the past,I tried it once on holiday and didnt like it,but that may be as a result of it not being the way I remembered it.
as a boy growing up with granny I used to know exactly the growth of my bammie,from the digging up of the cassava to its culmination in the dutch-pot as a tasty bammie [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hope you are alright.
Cigarette just lit smells kinda smooth, even though I do not smoke.

The smell of jet fuel when you arrive at Sangster, not when you are leaving.

Re: favourite jamaican smell

What jamaican smells do I love?
The smell of my old Granny as she wiped away my tears. The cutcake blue starch and kerosene linger in her hair.
My first countrybus trip was not to be missed. More sights, sounds, and smells than anyone could list.

Chickens and boxes and foods of all kinds. A smelly fatman pressing me but I don't mind.

At age four I am small, but my wonder is vast.I stare out the window ...Jamaica slides past.

The chalky, wet smell of a marl road in Dover. Fresh bulla at the roadside while the storm passes over.

Off the road and up the hill. The air hangs heavy, damp, and still.

The smell of green things growing and dead things that do not. All will retreat when the fire greets the pot.

The shutters are opened we pass through the door. I smell the ghosts of meals served long before.

Moldy mattress is lumpy with coconut hair. I throw myself down: just...don't...care...ZZZZ.

The smell of fresh sunlight awakens me now. It does have a smell(just don't ask me how)

" Good Morning my Granny " I sing and call out.
" Ah de same day bwai, de sun jus come out! "

Laughing she plops down a big steaming plate. My nose now running I ate, and ate, and ate.

And just as the smell of roasting breadfruit and frying fish never quite left that cottage, so too does my love for my grayy linger on and on in my heart.

Hope I didn't go too far afield with this one.

this effort dedicated to all who have ever ridden a countrybus, loved their granny. or survived the very loud and smelly poop of a fat man sitting next to them.
