I’m in London, with hard things to do. Where once I had nine family members in the capital, now there are none. It’s wrong to eat your feelings, except sometimes it helps.
I struggle to go into the supermarket my mum and dad used to shop at, as a feeling of dread always comes over me and the shelves seem filled with sadness. So, when I came upon a display of something new at the checkout, something that reminded me of slightly forbidden chocolate growing up (I was absolutely fascinated by Kinder chocolate when I was a child, I would see it in Italian supermarkets – you couldn’t get it here then – and think it was the height of sophistication), I felt cheered. Lindt Choco Wafers are new and come in three variations: milk hazelnut, milk or plain and cost £1 for two or £5.50 for 135g. I wish I could tell you how many are in the 135g packet, but it was compromised early.
