My bonny yew tree, tell me what did you see ?

Briefly ignoring any hayfever issues, for the moment...

Anyone who waxes lyrical about the scent of blossom in the spring air is not standing near a hawthorn tree. Fact.

I don't hate that scent, and I quite like the taste of haws!

I quite like it, though I know what you mean about lavatorial. It's definitely distinctive, and I think that's what I like about it. Cherries and apples are definitely rather more conventionally palatable.

I'd not realised until yesterday though that, at least in hot sunshine, gorse has the most amazingly sweet scent somewhere between vanilla and coconut.
