#Blog Flash 2013 Day 8 Chocolate (Yum!)


Day 8; Chocolate!!! Yum! yum! yum! Slightly over the word count but hey, it's chocolate! I could write a thousand words on the stuff!!  


I loved the night shift at Harrods. Walking around the store in the death of night was a privilege especially in the Food halls which were usually crowded by day. Now they’re empty and I could browse at my leisure (well security patrol). The smell would hit you first; that sweet, unmistakable smell of chocolate. Your eyes are drawn to the perfect displays of little delicate chocolates, all lined up, some in pretty foils, others showing their glossy nakedness. I would mentally pick out my favourites, all presented in a little (medium) sized gold box just waiting to be opened and devoured. I did love my job and on leaving did get one of those gold boxes.

  3. Sounds so good. All this talk about chocolate I'm now getting anxious that I don't have any at hand. Since it's midnight over here, finding a store open might be a bit difficult. ;)
