Spring is the time to exercise my nose, far from my kitchen, far from any fast food shop or bakery. In particular I try to find the perfume of freshly mown grass. On some fine day this month I will pack my water, a generous amount of apples and a book and go on an outing to a garden park. Spending an afternoon under a gracious tree in the dappled sunlight sounds quite idyllic, I am sure it would be, just so long as the ants and their friends are spending their afternoon under a different tree. As well as reading some book I will inspect some likely plants which will enhance my sense of smell. I could tickle my nostrils with lavenders, a new rose or an early scented geranium.
