Hi beautiful people! 😀
My name's Jessica and I'm a brand new follower here. I love everything old school so I've definitely come to the right place! I see quite a few of you have introduced yourselves so I thought I would too.
I'm from the good old London Borough of Brent. Lived there until I was in my mid thirties (now in my late forties) and now live in Hertfordshire - funnily enough like a lot of the people I went to school with so I'm always bumping into them in and around town! I'm of Irish descent but I was actually born in India back in the mid seventies. My family came to live in London when I was about three, and we've been here ever since. My parents still live in the same house that me, my sisters and brother all grew up in so it's always good to go home and be surrounded by all those wonderful childhood memories. I don't have kids but my siblings do so whenever my nieces and nephews come over to the family home, it's great that they get to see where we all grew up.
My favourite memories are of growing up in London in the nineties: GCSE's, sixth form, hanging out at the Trocadero with friends, trips into Central London, Brent Cross, going to dance classes, being part of our church community... so many great memories. Life is good now but back then - special times!
It wasn't so long ago that I was the newcomer who was given a very warm welcome to this Nostalgia Pie site. So I would like to extend the same welcome to you also Jessie. Welcome and nice to meet a new follower. 😊
Hey! I've been away for a while so didn't realize this site had new members. Hi to Jessie and all the other new people! 😀💖
Hi Jessie. Another new member here. And hi to Sandee too. #newcomers
Welcome new member! 😀
Hey Jessie. I have only just literally got back on here after having been away for a while so it's good to see some new members. Good to have you here! 😊
Hello Jessie. I'm also new to this forum and I'm just trying to feel my way around for now. But I suppose at some point bI should also do one of these introductions! x
I'm a bit late with this but welcome!
Thanks for all the love guys. You've made me feel very welcome 😘
Hiya Jessie! I'm from Brent too. Though it all feels like such a long time ago. I live in Australia now. The further the better I said at the time and clearly I meant it. I wouldn't swap my life now for anything.
I'm a nineties teen as well and everything you've described is everything I remember so well. Good to have you here! 🤗
Hi Jessie. Welcome sweetheart x
'Ello Jessie! Looking forward to ytou joining in with the discussions on here. It's always great getting new members. :)
Hello Jessie and welcome to our little nostalgic community! ❤️
Hi Jessie. I'm from Brent too! Small world and all that. Though I moved further afield than Herts. I live in Sydney, Australia! I haven't been in those neck of the woods for would you believe it, 15 years! You have to let me know if it's changed much. But yes welcome to Nostalgia Pie.
Hey Jessie. Welcome to Nostalgia Pie. Always nice to get a newbie! 😁
Hi Jessie. It doesn't seem like so long ago that I did my own post saying hi to everyone. 😃 Welcome. 😊
From one part Irish girl to another, hello and welcome to Nostalgia Pie! 😊☘️
I'm with Sherbette. I love knowing more about the folk in our little group. Welcome! 😊
Hello Jessie and welcome! I know we've had new followers but it's been a while since we last had someone give us an introduction, and I love knowing about the new members who are joining us. Thank you for your very evocative memories of growing up in London. I lived there for a while during the hedonistic days of my twenties, and I too have the most wonderful memories. 😊x
Yay! We like getting new members.
Hiya Jessie! Welcome to the Pie! So glad the decade when I was born holds so many great memories for you. As I was born in 1990, there's a lot I recall about this time and of course it's the decade where I spent my childhood so it's special to me too! 💖
