Don’t you just hate being woken up by the postman at 6:30 in the morning?

Usually I stumble downstairs in my inside-out dressing gown only to find out I was either too slow and he’s gone or the ‘special delivery’ letter is anything but special.

However, I was proven wrong this Saturday when the postman presented me with a big box from The Chocolate Trading Co full of some of the most divine chocolates I have ever tasted! German marzipan and Italian desert buscuits that lasted about an hour (after I had gone back to bed of course).

Not only was I blown away by the quality of the chocolates, I also noticed that the box that they had arrived in had a sticker on it saying (something along the lines of) “Whenever we can we will aim to re-use this box for further deliveries if in a good condition”. What a fantastic idea. Although I didnt send the box back to them, I have already re-used it for a Milk and Honey delivery.

Apologies in advance to the recipient who mistakes our bed linen for chocolate ;-)
