It frightens
some people and fills them with such dread that they run away filled with
anguish and fear that they might have to walk a plank, towards a sea of vows,
to honour and obey, till murder do them part.
In this day and age,
it’s more than acceptable love someone without all the baggage and long term commitment
associated with the church and legalities of government institutions.
One of the
definitions of love is the idea of attraction based on sexual desire which
involves the intimacy and tenderness felt by lovers, established through trust
and understanding. That’s how the Oxford
Dictionary explains it. This is nothing
to do with a horse and carriage but is still a definition of Love .
Men can talk
about how much they love football and no one turns a bald head but if a woman
suggests she loves him he chokes on his pie and runs to the sanctuary of the pub or the toilet. She might simply be saying she loves spending
time with him, loves the sex, the intimacy and being with him. Women are very vocal about their feelings but
we are also a new generation of independent, house owning, modern versions of Casanova.
Women these days
are game changers and roll a dice as competently, if not more accurately, than men. Especially more seasoned women who know exactly
what they want and can see right through even the most playful lads about
town.
I’ve experienced
the most wonderful and intense love any woman could ever want or experience resulting
in two brilliant daughters whom I love unconditionally. I think we all have one true love that no
other will ever match up to.
For me personally my longest and most
enduring loves are Coffee and Glasgow. When I think of them together
it is my idea of a threesome that excites and stimulates me more than any relationship
ever could. If smells are said to make
us fall in love, then the most persistent fancy in my life is definitely coffee!
Coffee has never
let me down, hurt my feelings or cancelled on me. It’s always there in one way or another. Sometimes it’s bitter and other times weak
but I can depend on it from the very first whiff to uplift my mood and give me
the energy to carry on with my day.
I love the smell of possibility and coffee in
the morning and my very favourite is by a company called Aroma whose passion for
coffee is matched only by their commitment to provide us with the highest quality coffee beans.
Their coffee is ‘drum roasted’ using
traditional, Italian methods and they use the world’s finest Arabica and robust
beans which ensure it is always fresh and aromatic.
The company was established in 1992 and they
are an independent family business who pride themselves in supporting clients
both locally and internationally. They recently
ensured a massive contract to export coffee to Turkey which is quite a feat for
such a 'new' company.
They now also sell coffee online from Amazon and
provide a range of ancillary products from their own label; sugar, chocolate, crockery
and their own unique tea brand.
Or, if you are an aficionado like myself, you
can even go and do some Barista training or get your staff trained which is
free to existing clients. There you go
and if you have any savvy you'll become a client for future training schools.
I’ve never been that interested in tea as it
makes me think of builders, swearing, bare bums and phrases like, “Happnin’
darlin’?’, “How’s it gaun hen?” and “Ye up fur a sh..?”.
Whereas the smell of coffee arouses memories
of Italy and “Ciao Bello, cosa sta feccendo?”,
“Come va?” and “Ti piacerebbe fare l'amore?”.
No contest between tea and coffee for me!
They say that certain fragrances give us
pleasure, or not, because they remind us of a certain person or time in our
life. Fragrance is both evocative and disturbing
in equal measures. Scientists suggest
they alight memories buried deep from past loves and childhood and can be both therapeutic and liberating.
Maybe someday my senses will be overwhelmed by
an aroma which will lead to an erotic or lustful affair that will last longer
than a cup of coffee but for now I’ll bask in my memories!
See you the next time!
