P's birthday present

P was the lucky recipient of a HUGE box of chocolates on Sat for her birthday from a very kind friend. She arrived home to see the parcel sitting on the living room table and ran to pick it up to rip it open while muttering....


"if she's sent me candles, I'll drive all the way to Wales and bash her around the head with them...yes, you can blog that, Emma"


Rewind to the Sunday before Xmas, year 2005, when said friend had been to visit and left a similar sized parcel on the sideboard as a Xmas pressie. P was in DIRE need of chocolate and wandered over innocently to innocently shake the parcel just to see what it might be. Suddenly, she caught a whiff of chocolate and like a woman possessed, ripped the Xmas present open only to find that it was a HUGE box of Yankee Candles, including a chocolate-scented one. She was gutted "well I can't eat THAT, can I..."


Am glad to report that these chocolates on Saturday were real ones and indeed very delicious. Not that I would know, see below picture - this was all that was left for me on Sunday afternoon.

Sniff ;-)
