I love the smell of railway sleepers.

I don't mean I go around sniffing the 'four foot'.

Four foot = term for area between railway lines. 'Don't flush the lavvy while in a station etc'

Tarmac (loved that from being a child with genuine real "steam" rollers), freshly mown grass, Indian curry, (either my own or restaurant), furniture polish, firelighters (yeh I know - shurrup), ) but, most of all, Sandalwood and other incense burners, either sticks or oils. Oooh, and the smell of the polish on the wooden floors and bannisters from the Children's Library on Station Road in or around 1955, which I was a member of when I was 6 years old! I'll never forget that smell. Erm ... leather, the sea - wor'else? Cawn't think for now, but that's enough to be going on with!
