“Most people bring their children to Disneyland and to places where there is a lot of noise, well, we bring our grandchildren into the woods. Where there is quiet and silence. We encourage them to collect different smells, we go to different trees and we smell the leaves and we smell the bark of the trees… We make a note of the differences in smells, forms and textures. This will not only sharpen up their senses but they will create and connect childhood memories to certain smells. Most people don’t use their nose enough, it’s so important because it makes the memories come back more often and much more vividly. My eyesight and my memory aren’t as sharp as they used to be and I have to wear hearing aids, but my sense of smell hasn’t changed a bit.”
