Having the sun beating down on my skin as I walked to the Green Shop in the distance (DIELLAS). It was a nice 5 minute stroll from our hotel in Gouvia Bay.

Walking up the little steep hill before getting to the top of the shop doors, I would have never imagined my noses sensory system reloading the memories of you. 

Moving through the shop smiling picking up essentials and still thinking of you.

Wishing I could stay in the shop longer to hold onto the smell of you.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

Walking out of the summer heat and entering the shop air conditioned breeze. 

I was flooded by memories of you 

that scent I’ll never forget 

Wishing you was still here but grateful 

for the memories we shared over many years 

From being told to shh from the cries of my Wii 

opening to sweating buckets from 

eating a whole can of beans

Makes me beam a smile of joy

Before the shop downstairs used to flood back memories of you too 

Though that scent has since faded it took me

to come to Corfu to have another chance

 of smelling the scent of you 

you’ll always be close in spirit and the memories of you are still shared because we love you 

Who would of thought our Nana

would stay up to watch the inbetweeners 

their show definitely knew how to intrigue us all 

What I would do to bottle up the scent of you
