I remember thinking that the Brits would rarely use one word when two would do just as well. Millennium Bridge didn't exist back when I was at LSE (and I rarely ventured into Southwark anyway) but looking at your pictures I'd probably prefer using Waterloo Bridge--which of course has the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68XMJE6tcxM&feature=related" rel="nofollow">better song</a>.

]]> Comment on smelling of yak butter by bjwalkerman http://sjwalking.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/smelling-of-yak-butter/#comment-10 bjwalkerman Fri, 24 Oct 2008 14:13:51 +0000 http://sjwalking.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/smelling-of-yak-butter/#comment-10 Mmmm - I'm trying to imagine what Yak butter smells like. So, I'll trade smells with you...imagine a stew of maple and birch leaves, slightly frosty, just past the crunchy stage, slightly marinated in mud. Beautiful rows here at the end of the season, and especially magical at the turn in the river that I call the cathedral, where the cliffs hold secrets of lives past. Loving hugs to you, Mum Mmmm – I’m trying to imagine what Yak butter smells like.
