For Your Valentine

It all comes around so quickly, doesn’t it? We’ve only just recovered from Christmas fever, and it’s already time for Valentine’s Day.

Chocolate and Valentine’s Day go hand in hand (you just can’t eat a bunch of flowers), and we’ve put together a few special ideas for the one you love. Say it with heart(s)!

This poor blog has been very unloved over the past few weeks, so here’s a bumper picture post showing what we’ve been up to & where we’ve been.

The Taming of the Choux
