I enjoy a chocolate bar as much as the next person, and these days it’s generally a pretty inexpensive treat.

I could take you through our entire trip to Kumi piecemeal, but if you’re like me you’ll have clicked out by the third sentence bored, so how about we look at a snapshot of the best bit of our latest visit?

The next instalment on our brief history of chocolate, takes place in 1519. An explorer called Hernán Cortés pursued his dream of discovering the New World.

The history of chocolate can be traced back as far as the ancient Mayans and Aztecs in Mexico, both of which are classed as some of the greatest ancient civilizations that have ever been discovered!

It hit home last week when my 20 year old daughter asked me what I would like as a gift for Mother’s day. “Your company “ I replied, which was met with a dismayed “Oh really?”

The simple act of showing a stranger a little bit of kindness, can make all the difference to that person and continue to touch them for a long time.

If “New Year, New Me” means “Life with More Chocolate”, then count me in! We all do it, it's the same every year! 

Have you stopped to wonder why our high streets are seeing a revolution take place with coffee shops appearing everywhere? Is it possible that we are embracing a café culture like never before?
