My trips to London are tricky these days. Whereas once I had lots of family there, now there are none. It feels strange and empty at times, and I fill that void with being fantastically busy and meeting up with lots of friends when I’m there. A packed diary is a great anaesthetic.
So, too, is chocolate, and I was craving something chunky (read about meeting my match with chunky in a few weeks’ time) and comforting. But I’ve lost my super-sweet tooth, so chocolate that is too full of sugar I can’t eat. Willie’s Cacao 54% Milk of the Stars, £2.35, is in my top 10 of milks. I always forget how good it is, because I don’t let myself eat too much of it and when I do, I wish every newsagent stocked it.
