Very interesting – the smells of Old London. You make them very vivid. Maybe you’ll write about them again and add a few, like unwashed people and the smell after people threw their slops out of the windows and shouted ‘gardez loo (l’eau) – beware of the water (and worse!). Oh and nice smells like baking bread and cakes with spices, or mead.
Hi thanks for your message yes we are doing that in thee next parte people didn’t bath very often once a month and thee smell of them turned you’re stomach as you know there was no taps you had to go and find watter and boil it
