Noises and words you love!

The smell of the Christmas tree while I am putting it up.

Roast pork roasting.

Fresh coffee

Church bells

The first notes of the overture to any ballet or opera

A purring cat

I like the smell of fresh baked bread, fresh ground coffee and the smell of lavender

The call of a collared dove together with the smell of new mown grass takes me back to the long, lazy, sunny, Sunday afternoons of my childhood. If I close my eyes, I can see mother coming down the garden path with a laden tea tray!
The one smell I loved in winter and which I can't replicate today is that of wet, school gaberdene mackintoshes drying by the open fire in the late afernoon while we toasted frozen fingers and toes and sipped hot honey and milk to thaw out after our freezing, wet walk home from school! Bliss! (Especially on a Friday!)

Smell of freshly ironed clothes
Sound of my cat purring. He even purrs while he’s eating!
Word, Fettle (Yorkshire word meaning put in order!)

Smell Doggy odour lovely smell I love it

Sounds: my baby grandson’s coos and babbles
Smells: roses growing in a flower bed near my former workplace. They are very old roses but smell amazing
Sights. Washing blowing on a line. Sadly, I seldom see nappies hung out now.

Cockerel crowing in morning. I love it
Smell of eggs and bacon frying
Freshly mown grass

Lilac blossom.
As a child, swinging high on a wooden swing in my grandparents' garden, trying to touch the blooms with my feet to release the smell.

Ixion, the smell of the lilac blossom or the feet?!?

A Baby's chuckle
the smell of the sea rolling in
Word - anything GS manages to say. last time it was "My Hat' and "Bow' (rainbow) - 7 year old with Down Syndrome

The organ playing
Cathedral choirs
Cricket match, sight and sound (reminder of someone who loved me and I loved him but we couldn't be together)
Babies
Breakfast cooking
My husband's voice
So many now I have started to think about it..... I'll stop now!!?

The smell of a florist shop, bliss.

Cows and sheep in the fields
Hi Mum from any of my children
Welsh National Anthem sung by a rugby crowd ( I’m not Welsh btw)
Tibetan singing bowls
Local samba drumming band

Sights
The sea!
Too many others to list.

Thanks for making me focus on the joyful things in life

The sight and smell of daffodils which I love! lilac and crocuses and primroses taking me back to my childhood garden and as a March born child the excitement of knowing my birthday was round the corner! Cliches I know but I love the smell and sights of spring and the promise it brings of fresh starts

Can I add to my list the late night Shipping Forecast with its theme tune Sailing By. Somehow it’s so comforting listening to that in bed.

I love the Shipping forecast too, I have no idea why.
I used to love the smell of creosote, but of course you don’t see it used now.
I’m glad you enjoy this thread HannahLoisLuke.

The smell of putty. Reminds me of my uncle’s shop. The sound of trains shunting and a marching band with a big bass drum.

Sandalwood. Just love it. Welsh choirs.

The sound of a baby laughing, my Daughter recorded my granddaughter laughing and had it put into a cuddly teddy bear for my birthday. I still press the tummy and smile. My GD is now 8. Favourite smell Lillies.

My favourite sound is ‘love you nannie’!
Love the smell of toast!

Nanniejude was just about to say same thing Rang my 18 year old grandson yesterday and he was with some mates and his girlfriend and still signed off “ love you nan” ??. And the sound of my daughters cavvie, curled up on the bed and snoring So loud but soooo cute !

In a very bad place today, but this post has helped put things in perspective and I'm feeling a little better.

For me: warm Cornish pasties, road tar, and anyone who can whistle a tune.

Thank you for this post.

Favourite word is - bonkers, it’s just not used enough today. Which is bonkers
