SHOWCOLATE

What a great way to spend an evening at a chocolate show. So many types and flavors of chocolate, from cardamom flavor to dried fruit dipped, also chocolate pasta ( we just had to buy some!!). We had a great time trying so many different types.   

                      A wonderful Christmas tree!  IMG_0027 (2)          I couldn’t believe some of the stuff they made. IMG_0028 (2)

MUFFIN TIME!

We were in London for a weekend and we loved all the colorful shops and pubs the city had to offer. On one of our many walks, we came across a muffin shop. Our eyes were transfixed on all the colors and rows of muffins, so we decided to go in and treat ourselves to a delicious muffin.  IMG_0069 This was our choice of the day, a Lemon Poppyseed Muffin!! It went down well with the tea I had bought earlier!IMG_0083

CHEESE CHEESE CHESSE!

On our adventure in London, we took a walking tour. These tours are not bad if you pick the right one and the right tour guide! On this particular tour, our guide was very small and very animated, she made us smile the whole 2 hr tour. As we are walking she tells us stories and performs little skits. On our stroll we noticed a cheese shop!

  This was our tour guide her with her red beret hat.
