What sounds or smells bring memories flooding back
One of many examples for me is the sound of frogs as I fall asleep, it’s so comforting when on the occasional times I hear them.

I have something in reverse to that.... Truman's Brewery was situated behind where maternal grandmother lived in the East End of London (on the street where one of Jack The Ripper's victims was found). They stopped brewing there more than 30 years ago - but when I read that the brewery was re-opening it brought back the smell of the malted hops... and then the rooms in the house, particularly one under the eaves with a tin bath (no proper bathroom!) from where we could see the brewery.. When I emailed my sisters with the news about the revival of Truman's they experienced exactly the same sensations (nearly 60 years on).

Lol, I think you'll know what I'm about to say, after all you were there. We used really old Holden cars for our wedding, when I climbed into the car I got a really warm feeling when the smell of the interia watered over me. It brought back fond memories of my beautiful grand parents. It has been over twenty years since I smelt that and it felt like yesterday.

@Les02 I live in a beach city, so a lot of our activities were at the beaches or bays, parties, get together's, celebrations, vacations and even work. I've spent most of my life at or around the beach. :) So, there are good and not good memories. Break ups happened there and worse happened there too. BUT, over all it's the place I'd go for everything.
Sleeping on the beach is an amazing experience. So glad you've had nothing but great memories. I hope it stays that way. :D

@Les02 Yes, the beach has been a part of my life since I can remember. Summer times here are a bit insane though, half the time we can't get to them because of the tourists, but can't really complain because said tourists do help the economy.
Can't hear it from where I live now but on good days, you can catch the aroma during strong windy days. I use to live off the board walk of one beach for a few years and my bedroom balcony looked out over the yard directly to the beach. Sunsets were the most amazing from there.

Fresh cut grass reminds of summer sports matches, grass cuttings reminds me of where I played tennis, certain music reminds me of different girlfriends.
Whilst there are one or two albums that when I listen to them, I can remember where I was sat reading on a train, who I was with and what we were doing etc even after 20 years.

@justastrugglingguy Mo doubt there would be a mixed bag of emotions amongst that lot 👍️
The fresh cut grass would always bring the cows up the hill to the back fence, I used to like feeling them while giving them a scratch on the head 🙂
