Thanks for finding a phrase that describes the smell of Himalayan Balsam, it's a smell I really dislike but have never been able to describe!

I don’t think I’ve quite captured it, but it’s the closest I could get! It’s such a strong scent, isn’t it?!

It hasn’t changed and yet it has; it is not the same place it was when I left it in March, but it is a reminder of the place I first came, in early summer last year. - love these lines. There is so much beauty in getting to know a place at different times of year and revist and explore new things or recognise the landscape.

Thanks Catriona - there is definitely a sense of knowing yet not knowing a place when we return. I think it makes us feel how we are different too.
