There are some smells that I probably won't experience again, but the memory of them is wonderful.

 

Steam Trains at Central Country Platform

Damp woollen jumpers drying in front of an open fire

My aunt's camphor smelling trunk

Kindergarten class room of old (plasticine?)

1950's hospital smell

See now, there you triggered something.

 

I live in MN and when I was young we had some awful cold, snowstormy winters in the '60's.  Some years we had to walk to school and back and I'm talking way below zero fahrenheit.

 

We'd come in the door, almost crying, and we'd put our mittens and stuff on the radiator and try and get warm.  

 

There's a certain smell to radiators and snow melting and being happy to be home.
