Bangers n' Mash

Sense of smell is my strongest memory trigger. I keep getting strong waves of nostalgia for Oxford, England. Sadly enough, I think it's mainly the diesel fumes and cigarette smoke that are constantly floating around campus. But it's also the (almost) chill in the air, the unexpected week of clouds and rain, the faint smell of cologne...everything is adding up and whispering in my ear...

"Come back to Oxford! Relax with a cup of Earl Grey, enjoy a pint at the pub tonight. Take a walk through the park, smell the flowers, stronger now because of the afternoon rain...please come back and see me!"

Boy, oh boy, do I wish I could...
