PERFUME PROFESSOR ( 
Your Hiroshige scent tours sound amazing! Have there been any articles about them? We’re just back from a long family trip to Normandy and Brittany, which was marvelous. Focus was much more on eating and drinking than sniffing, lol. With LOTS of walking, including three days spent at various D-Day sites. Now I feel I must read or watch “Band of Brothers”. Right now, I’m mostly getting caught up with garden needs — I did a lot of planting this spring, but I still have some plants to go into large pots, and the weeds went crazy while we were gone. Luckily, my garden smells lovely, so that is a pleasant distraction from pulling weeds.
