My sister in laws stretch mark cream she was using recently took me right back to my pregnancies, was the strangest feeling in the world. Suddenly felt exactly like I did emotionally when pregnant.

Slightly lumpy mash, diced beetroot and the best ever cheese and potato pie (all with their own very unique odours) remind me of school dinners.
