I’ve always had a mental picture of the year as the round dial of a ‘normal’ 12hr clock, January being 12.00 - 01.00 and December between 11.00 - 12.00 e.t.c., but I don’t think that has anything to do with synaesthesia.
And talking about smells/odours, every time I open a new packet of ground coffee I flash back to when I was under ten years of age, had just come back from the shops and mum opened the new packet of coffee…man that’s still one my favourite memories !
