A Secret Hideaway In the caravan of love

For example, for me it was.

Lavender at my grandmother's house.

Nutty slack from the fireplace - probably the cheapest coal available.

Scorched newsprint - held over the fire to make it draw

Airfix glue in my bedroom.

grandad's pipe tobacco.

What about you

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

Creosote from the fence near my grans. The smell of the Fens that used to come over St Ives in the evening. Wood-smoke from bonfires in Autumn.
