... yes, we had our first sighting of real Yaks. This one stood out from the crowd as he was pale haired and most were black. He was also unusual in that he wasn't heavily laden. Most, as you can see in our next picture, carried large loads, sometimes trekking gear but more often than not supplies for local traders and markets. Often the goods had been brought in all the way from Tibet.
We thought it was a great shame (for us really, not for the yaks) that these magnificent creatures can't survive at low altitudes, as we'd have loved to set up a new Bears Unlimited business, importing yaks for transportation purposes. Wouldn't it be great to see a yak train travelling along our network of footpaths and canal towpaths? And just think of the benefits in terms of reduced traffic congestion?
Lots of love George & Yorkie

The yaks look great, and just at present it feels cold enough for them here in the midlands.
How time flies; it is now a week since the very enjoyable Bears Unlimited A.G.M. Thanks Norfolk Branch for hosting the event so successfully. We hope you are all in good health again now.
They are gorgeous! So fluffy but I guess they need all that fur to keep warm in the snow and cold temperatures. At least an image of them has come back to England courtesy of Norfolk Branch minder's Christmas jewellery
