Pondering...

When shopping for bits and bobs at a local supermarket with Amber earlier, I happened upon a British section on the shelves. Now, homesickess (which I now have in its most literal sense. Joyous.) is a funny old thing: for the first time in my life, a packet of Coleman's sauce and a tub of McVities chocolate digestives evoked strong emotions in me. It's ridiculous, I know, but the presence of something familiar (branding is different here, even on familiar brands, or the product is the same but the names have been changed*) was actually rather comforting, whilst simultaneously make me long for home even more (not that I ever actually eat Coleman's packet sauces, but still...). I wonder if that is a global phenomenon, or just my own eccentricity?!
