Lagos..

what a lovely few days we have had away with my sister and bro in law, and steve.

We stayed in Lagos in the Algarve.
Not somewhere id always fancied going..
but, now ive been there ,i would definately go back.

I did struggle with the food, as it was pretty fish based, and to be honest,i didnt fancy the chicken..
it was, to say the least, a little on the scrawny side..
BUT i survived..
The beer was very good though, as was the apple schnaps...

but as im a believer in pictures speak louder than words.....

here goes......

beer o'clock

ice cream

Im not a huge fan of Ice Cream but my boss at lick the spoon made some recently and today i got a taster..
strawberry frozen yoghurt and strawberry sauce, with a side order of vanilla ice cream underneath.

I have to admit it was amazingly good..

but then .. i shouldnt be surprised should i..

havent been in work as much recently, theres definately a post easter lull...


left work earlier tonight as id finished all i could.. and was sat in a traffic queue.. and this tree caught my eye..(not literally)
i wonder what people must think when i whip the camera out and take pics out the car window...


theres something about dead trees that i like too.. theres one on the way to exeter, that..i will one day get a piccie of, thats if its not fallen over by now!

when i got home, i was greeted by Nelson.. with the usual choros of Meowing (aka FEED ME!!)


This is the new position that he has chosen..
we moved the sofa into the window, so now it gets the evening sun...through the blinds

He knows where hes best off

I think im definately coming back as a cat!!!

Liberty Chocolate taster day

TODAY..libertys
Tomorrow...The world..


ok.. maybe not ! but today was Liberty's chocolate tasting day for our caramel eggs and Praline chips.




The buying public seemed to totally love the products... which was always going to happen, as our chocolate is divine.


*note the wallpaper in the reflection
The table i had to work from was a little on the bijou side..but i tried to locate a few of our eastery kind of products, as well as the ones i had as tasters...




the Caramel Egg tasters went down really well... especially with the littlies.. 


There was a major rush between half 12 and two, i guess it was lunch time.. and i actually had people queueing up for a taster or 2... 


the Spiel came so naturally after a while, but i cant say i wasn't nervous at first!
but.. 
Everyone loved the tasters..
some looped round on their way out for a second taste!


*I did laugh when one lady came up to me and asked me where she could buy the wallpaper on the chocolate rooms wall...
i politely informed her that i didnt work for Libertys, but for Lick the spoon.. but i also said i think it would look good in her lounge!!




This was so good for my confidence..
since moving to the UK from Brunei, ive not really found my confidence...
ok well...im not the least confident person in the world.. but inside.. im not the most confident either..


like i said Today Libertys
tomorrow.. the WORLD!


HAHA


 a few more random pics below.. cos you know me... gotta take pics!


hope you like them!
