Scent diaryA Christmas that smells of cherries and sunscreen
Okay, nerd moment: while you lot plan cinnamon and fir, my Christmas is going to smell of summer. Cherries in a bowl on the table, sunscreen, cut mango, prawns on the barbie for the brave, and the eucalyptus going sharp in the arvo heat. The Christmas bush in my neighbour's yard has never smelled of much to me, which annoys me every year. I keep trying to work out why a hot Christmas still feels like Christmas, and I think it's the people more than the spices. Rant over.

Brisbane checking in: mangoes. The whole house smells of them right through the holidays.
