1983

  Orange blossom, Jasmine, Juniper buds, tattoos, afros, rockabilly, Billy the Cat, Billy Bud, Wild Bill Hicock, Cowboys and Indians under the rusty auld bridge, sleepers on the track and the house that back onto the disused railway line- coal bunker filled by cloth capped coalmen in the dead of winter- scarecrows up in vegetable patches- spring and blackberries blooming on bushes- churchs filled with auld ones, frankincense and myrrh- wooden confession boxes and holy water fonts gone green with age- wine in the sacristy and a good slug of the stuff to boot- get that warm feeling inside- to dream further dreams of far off places- ah, them beautiful smells.
