Losing my sense of smell, being one of the early signs of Parkinson's is
very annoying to say the least. I used to know when a cake was ready just by
using my nose. Now I have to rely very much on my kitchen timer, otherwise I
would be serving my family burnt offerings. How I miss the smell of freshly
baked bread that is still warm, herbs that have just been picked from the
garden, the delicous intoxicating smell of chocolate, a powerful fruity bouquet
of a good wine, freshly mowed grass, and smelly garlic bread strong enough to
keep away the hungriest of vampires! All of us are guilty of taking things
for granted, and only once they're gone, do we truly realise what we've lost. So
when you smell something good today, appreciate your sense of smell.
