Chocolate heaven

Family OTW are busy packing at the moment for our journey at the end of the week to our home in California. We will be staying until just before Christmas and we are hoping whilst there to help Vinogirl in her harvest and to have a little christening celebration for my latest baby daughter. The manic rush to finish essential business and to provide materials in our extended absence for the chaps, is not leaving much time for anything other than brief snatches of sleep. I did however make some time today for the buying of that most important necessity of family OTW...Cadburys chocolate. I know many people feel it inferior to Swiss,German etc chocolate but...well stuff em,we love the stuff. Cadburys is at present in danger of being purchased by the Kraft corporation and many fear a future adulteration of the wonderful creamy sweetness of Cadburys dairy milk chocolate.....in that case I feel a further foraging trip coming on as you can never ever have enough chocolate.

Ahh yessir!...I don't eat a lot of chocolate ,regulary, but when i get the 'craving' i'll tear the house apart to find some chocolate, heroin addicts don't know what cravings are until they get one of my choco-crave.
Good luck over the pond, sorry, again we never met up in town for a 'jar'. Anyhow, when you hit ol Blighty again.
Hope the family're fine.

I love Cadbury's :) I'm trying to watch my weight (right now), so I can't eat any until I've lost enough that I can start gaining it back again. Hope Kraft doesn't buy them. Stupid ol' multi-national conglomerate Occidental hegemonies!
