“BERNARDA.â€� Las mujeres en la iglesia no deben mirar más hombre que al oficiante, y a ése porque tiene faldas. Volver la cabeza es buscar el calor de la pana.
MUJER 1.� (En voz baja) ¡Vieja lagarta recocida!
LA PONCIA.� (Entre dientes) ¡Sarmentosa por calentura de varón!
BERNARDA.� (Dando un golpe de bastón en el suelo) ¡Alabado sea Dios!
TODAS.â€� (Santiguándose) Sea por siempre bendito y alabado.”
― Federico García Lorca, La casa de Bernarda Alba

“Parts of my 20s and 30s have gone by in a flash but my childhood is with me all the time.”

“You’re doing your 30s right if creating wealth gives you more happiness than enjoying wealth.”
― Nitya Prakash

“So the smells I associate with the Elders are freshly cut garden flower arrangements- roses, lilac and endless sweet peas and the fougère hints of random greenery lavishly added to the vases, in the Constance Spry style.
Also, modest shop-bought flowers, particularly daffodils, tulips and freesias, which are such an economical way to brighten a room for that thrifty generation.

My scents for the elders are:
Lavender by Yardley
Blue Grass by Elizabeth Arden
Rose in Wonderland by Atkinsons
Femme by Rochas
Ostara by Penhaligon's
Tweed by Lenthéric (A mention of this elicited a big response at the event; it seemed all the women had worn it at some time and had happy associations with it. I do wish they would re-release it in the original tweed-fabric effect box.)

The men in this age group are the last of the true British gentlemen, so especially for them:

Old Spice
St Johns Bay Rum by St Johns Fragrance Company
Royal Mayfair by Creed”
