For the past week, I have been a bit sick, with flu like symptoms, a bad cough and no sense of smell.

Thankfully it’s all resolved, and this is me celebrating my new found ability to smell again.

The musky, rich and heady smell of rose petals.

I love the crazy, firework colours and patterns on this rose.

Hot, buttery, honey smells from homemade Anzac biscuits.

I made these for an after school snack for my kids, here’s the recipe if you’re interested.

Warm, fresh, soapy smells from the children’s bathroom.

All three of them piled into the bathtub and went crazy with the bubbles.

Slow cooked lamb stew, with fresh herbs from the garden.

It sat on the stove for 2 hours, bubbling away, filling my house with the most amazing aromas.
