Wow...

mc_shamo had told me a little while ago to make sure I kept yesterday afternoon free, but would not tell me why. Then yesterday morning I put on a nice dress and went to work. He met me afterwards and took me here for Chocolate High Tea! There were cucumber and salmon sandwiches, and fresh warm scones with cream and jam, and Italian hot chocolate ON TAP. The lounge was gorgeous and there were crystal chandeliers and waiters who pull out chairs for you and fix your napkin. And there was a HUUUUUGE amount of chocolate! There was a large table in the centre of the lounge absolutely COVERED with chocolate products. There was chilli chocolate mousse, and layered mousse, and about four different types of chocolate cake and all these other little chocolate things that I have no idea what they were called but WOW! And piles and piles of fresh strawberries... Oh, and despite the fact that he's not drinking, he bought me a glass of good champagne.

I have the most awesome boyfriend, and I'm so incredibly lucky.

(Oh and by the way, the picnic I planned went off swimmingly, thank you everyone for all the ideas, help and loans of equipment!)
