'Smell-phone' needed!

This is the summer Jasmine I bought last year - absolutely covered in dainty white stars and smelling beautiful.
I spent much of the day feeling thankful - this morning I attended the funeral of a friend just 3 years older than me who had been in a nursing home for several years. His wife is also far from well and has mobility problems. I am so fortunate to have my health and strength. 
Then I look around my comfortable, untidy, home crammed full of 'stuff' I have accumulated over the years all holding memories, and I try to imagine what it would be like to suddenly lose everything except the clothes I stand up in - my home, all my possessions, many of my neighbours and family wiped out in a matter of hours. I hug my dogs, smell my flowers, give thanks for what I have and pray for those people in Kensington who are going through  hell following the terrible fire in their tower block.
