Aylesbury Ice Cream

Well, things have been quiet, quieter than a gnat, a dead gnat, a dead gnat wearing slippers on a shag pile carpet, in a padded cell, on the moon. However please don't see this as a cop out. Although I have not been visiting Aylesbury's recently, scuppered by my inability to pass a driving test and having no money to travel by train. I have been planning trips and scheming plans and I am always on the look out for a link.

An interesting coincidence happened at the International Youth Alpha Conference at Holy Trinity Brompton. Rich "the mighty Cucumber" Turner and myself were on the way home, or back to a friends house after a cracking worship session, very tired from the day's many seminars and great talks from the guys from Youth for Christ and Soul Survivor. We were loitering in Harrod's (surely it should be renamed Al- Fayed's) shop front, gazing at the display, and capturing footage for a future VJ set, when we happened upon the closed entrance to Knightsbridge tube station. We were not perturbed by this interesting situation and were just about to carry on up the road, when we were approached by three South Africans. They identified us as safe people as we were carrying the folders from the same conference that we were also at. Thinking about it, even if they weren't from the same conference as us, they probably would have approached us, as the folders were pink and yellow and probably made us look quite camp. We all wondered down Brompton Road having a chat together about the day and about where we all came from, they were from Durban and found out we were from Aylesbury. They soon realised that they were in infamous company as in South Africa, Aylesbury is a frozen yoghurt chain of stores and they had partaken of this said foodstuff! It was a truely amazing co-incidence, that out of a random meeting a certain camaraderie was formed over icecream and broken tubes. Fantastic, I instantly felt a bond with them. Sadly as I am only half good at networking, I did not get any contact details from them, I suppose that should be called netting, getting to know someone slightly but then not working to contact them again, as it doesn't work. But I shall now aim to get to South Africa at some point to sample this amzing food stuff. Perhaps an Aylesbury menu is emerging
