1037 - Granny


Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week are: 

pasty, revel, scent

A pasty is a type of pie, 
especially from Cornwall.
Camay was a brand of soap.


Granny

The scent of Camay—
Transports me back through time.
Grandmother's bedroom.


The smell of pasties.
She flaked the vegetables.
Serve crispy, with sauce.


A young tearaway?
A youth of wild reveling?
I can but wonder.

  5. Oh, I remember that Camay smell too! Funny how scents can transport a person through time. And...lucky is a person who has had HOMEMADE pasties--makes my taste buds yearn!

  9. Somewhere, in the attic of my brain, I remember Camay ... and I would surely revel in having some pasties today! Good write.

  12. Oh gosh, your Camay and home-made pasties have taken me straight back to my own childhood. What pleasurable scents! (They don't make soaps or pasties like that any more. Nor wild revels either, lol.)

  13. We should never think that other (older) people lived lives different from our own, they had their adventures and indiosyncrasies too. Doing family history you often find this out!

  14. You've made me hungry... a nostalgic for my grandmother's kitchen.
