Old, leather chairs have certain unmistakable aromas. Perhaps it’s the skin of the animals they heralded from, their pastures, the farms they called home? Perhaps not. I often overthink these things. As for me, I believe they take on the scents of those who cherish them. Like love, aromas linger.

A former Authonomy.com gold medalist, part of HarperCollins, Richard has had many short stories and poetry published and always feels extremely privileged each time. A prolific writer, a constant source of clearing his mind, Richard has created this website to share just some of the many poems and prose he has written that would otherwise have fallen by the wayside. Reading and writing have always been Richard's main love along with the pursuit of keeping fit. Running, walking, and anything that provides a spectacular view always feature highly for him. Running in the rain with his headphones on whilst dreaming up some future storyline is just about perfect. It would be nicer still if that run was in Switzerland or Norway, but we can't have everything. Oh, and coffee, lots and lots of coffee. View all posts by Richard Ankers

Thanks, Sue. I hope you have a good one. 🙂

I have a leather belt that I have worn through rain and shine for more than three decades. Give me a mo and I’ll tell you what it smells of …
Mostly leather, but the end smells faintly of food. Curry I think.
Three decades and it still fits. That’s good going. 😉
I am on the last notch. 🙂
You are right, Richard. Leather does have a certain smell as well as feel and look.
Doesn’t smell as good as your baking methinks.
Beautiful. Love the last line.
Thank you.
