Perfumed Garden - Cremona - August 27th

Italy has the best smells. I do not want to denigrate France. That country is vying for Silver Medal status but you get some stinkers in th Italian countryside. I do not know what they feed to their cows and pigs here but it is clearly working.

At the other extreme, I once caught the fragrance of an elegant lady in the famous shopping district in Milan. It was delectable. I did no take the opportunity to ask her the name of the scent - much to Sally's chagrin - but maybe its better that way. Somethings should be left to the imagination.

So my point is that perhaps each country evens out in the nasal stakes. Britain has chosen a middle way with no great highs or lows. Italy on the otherhand prefers to display some of e best and the worst. An olifactory roll-a-coaster.
