12 sleeps

Some situations just can't be fixed with words or tears alone. For those tough times, when Haighs isn't available, we need to resort to something as close as possible that will offer us comfort. The kind of comfort that even the best of friends can't offer.

Yes, I'm talking about chocolate. It would be a few years ago now that I first discovered this little gem but I have been a regular ever since. 'Oh you want to meet for coffee, shall we go to San Churros?' and I will admit to not ever having been told 'no' to that particular suggestion.

And with good reason. Chocolate afterall, heals anything!

To quote Roal Dahl "Never mind about 1066 William the Conqueror, 1087 William the Second. Such things are not going to affect one’s life… but 1932 the Mars Bar and 1936 Maltesers and 1937 the Kit Kat – these dates are milestones in history and should be seared into the memory of every child in the country."

I'll miss the times shared with friends, the treats halved and the ones that weren't, the comfort of 'somewhere to go' when I needed to just be alone with my 'one great love'
