The Smell Of Fresh Night Rain

 

Last night, while I was asleep, I smelled the most beautiful smell of all: a mixture of fresh air and rain that only comes at night. A peaceful fresh so delectable and inviting that it inspires you with every breath you take as you sleep. I couldn't resist - I was reminded of how much the rain's soft, lovely smell means to me and my works, as rain plays a vital part of my works, as does water. There's a Moon & Me episode which beautifully describes the scent of rain and its impact on Mother Nature, and I'll put it up on my blog next time it appears on BBC iPlayer. It's named 'Everything Smells Lovely' and I saw it last year. You should give it a go - if you smell as fresh as a certain newborn baby/sleepy rabbit hybrid!
