adventures…

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for new and rich experiences.” ― Eleanor Roosevelt

Years ago I used to spend my days within the tight confines of my comfort zone. Needless to say, nothing much of interest ever happened to me and I was pretty miserable. Happily, this is no longer the case. Today I had a mini-adventure. I popped to London to visit the lovely Emma and taste the divine salted caramel hot chocolate again – it did not disappoint. On the train I read Stardust (by Neil Gaiman) for the 100th time. It is, in my humble opinion, as perfect a book as was ever written. If I’d created it myself (oh, gosh) I wouldn’t change a single word. In London (West Hampstead) we visited a gorgeous chocolate shop called Cocoa Bijoux, ate LOTS of chocolate – the Gianduja Almonds were sublime – found a lovely bookshop & a farmers market where we bought Guinness Cake. We met sweet and lovely people. On the way home I read Stardust and ate more chocolate. All in all, a perfect day.
