I’m going on BBC local radio from my home office at 9am to talk about chocolate and a huge delivery of wood and compost has arrived for me to take through my house. Cool cool. 😅

Would you like to discover London's best bakeries and chocolate shops?

Not sure why this photo looks like it’s from 1983 but it’s my favourite from this morning’s unveiling of the Claridges’ Christmas Tree with designer Paul Smith. And I got my first mince pie of the season and some sweets so it’s been a happy end to the first half of the week. 💪

Tomorrow I’ll be sharing a round up of advent calendars and Christmas hampers. Expect lots of chocolate, of course. 🥰

Have you already bought an advent calendar? Are you planning to?

🍫 Next year it’ll be 20 years since I set up Chocolate Ecstasy Tours in London. 😵

🍦 In 2015 I led the first Ice Cream Ecstasy Tour.

🥐 This month I finally ran the first dedicated bakery tour with my friend, author & photographer Milly Kenny-Ryder. Expect more in 2025!
