so today i had a feeling of nostalgia.. but not for the US, or when I was a little kid… but for an earlier time in the UK. I guess after 11 years in the UK, i have enough history with this place that I can reminisce about the old days.
Yes, the thing which brought up all these old memories, was drinking Ribena. The sweet taste of blackcurrent cordial reminded me of the days when Sam, Esther, Adrian and I would have our TOPIC leaders meetings. Sitting around a Watson Road table, drinking Ribena, and acting like weirdos. And then it reminded me of when i first came to the UK, on a short-term missions trip… eating Shreddies and drinking Ribena… or putting Weetabix on toast and grilling it… then being led across the streets of London by a skinny Liverpudlian with short shorts…
Ahh Ribena. You bring sweet memories back.
