We had to postpone our visit to the café - again! Temperatures have dropped from 35°C to 25°C, which would have been beautiful; unfortunately, this came with such strong winds that Mum didn't want to risk being blow over. Not to mention that strong winds are very hard on her eyes, too. So I did the big shopping tour instead, and brought her the croissants from the café on my way back. I also made a very fancy chocolate cappuchino for breakfast to go with the croissant. ;)

What I also found, to my delightful surprise, were Terry's chocolate oranges. I never knew that Pepco has had them for ages; I only ever visit that shop for craft supplies. It was entirely by accident that I found the chocolate oranges. Mum was elated. We won't be able to go to London together ever again, but at least I could bring back the memory of London; that was the first time we've seen (and ate) those chocolate oranges. As a rule, they are not available here, and they were outrageously price-y, too, but from time to time...

The shopping tour took care of the morning and the early afternoon, but I've squeezed in a tiny bit of crafting and some writing, too, so I'm quite content.

I'm glad that you like those oranges. I really dislike them, even the smell of them

At least it cooled down.
I love chocolate with orange flavour!

Lol. Chocolate Oranges are everywhere here, but I don't like them! I have eaten lots of other kinds of flavoured chocolate, but don't enjoy orange. Enjoy your treat.

A shame the weather was so unsuitable for a cafe trip. But I am really pleased that you found chocolate oranges — I can quite understand why they make you think of your trip to London, they are so quintessentially English.

I love chocolate oranges, but never with dark chocolate!
