Tongo used to be my favourite ice-cream when I was a kid; rich banana flavour with a touch of chocolate in the shape of a smiley banana. The taste came instantly in my mouth only at the sight of it when I visited the shop around my summerhouse to buy newspapers. It's been years since I've had one.
A taste, an image, a smell that brings back thousands of happy memories from my childhood. I eat my ice-cream by the beach, close my eyes and for an instant I feel like I am thirteen again, this young and restless girl who was dreaming and reading. How much have changed since then and how much I've stayed the same person at the same time...
