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. 😵 chocolateecstasytours.com 🍦 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!
