I can always remember my grandma who had a wonderful soprano voice singing We'll Gather Lilacs in the Spring Again and I now have that song in my head after taking a walk round the garden and seeing that our lilac is now in blossom.
We planted it just outside our back door so, when we have the kitchen window open, we can smell it. Reminds me of my childhood. We had a huge garden and Dad planted a variety of lilacs around it ... all different colours, from white, to pale pink right to deep purple.
Despite the rain, I decided to take a trip out and take a quick snap of it.

The scent of flowers brings back a lot of memories, that makes some of them very special

'Jorgovan' it's called these flowers in my language and it smells beautiful
My grandmother had it in the yard
