I remember being sent to 'the corner store', which was a small general grocery store (not on a corner) about 300m from my grandparents house. With a handful of coins we'd run to the store at breakneck speed to buy ourselves a bag of mixed lollies (sweets). Lollies were usually one or 2 cents, 5 cents for a really good one. And we'd always get Nan aniseed rings, which we hated. That's probably why she got them, something we'd keep our greedy little mitts off. Well, there's a new corner store in Amsterdam town and it's dedicated to those with a sweet tooth; Le Petit Vloer, of which Gloria would approve, I'm sure. Although I couldn't see any aniseed rings, I'm sure she'd have found something tasty.
