Cadbury's Chocolate Factory

Decided to take Amelie to the chocolate factory near Birmingham for a day trip. We got a lot free chocolate as well as buying a lot of chocolate to take back home at discounted prices. It was a fun sunny day and learned a lot about the origins of chocolate, and the rise of the Cadbury's Chocolate Empire. Here's a picture of high-heeled shoes, made from chocolate. I thought it was quite cool. Perhaps chocolate can be tool for art too?

Lunch with Grandma Ng - Japanese Style

For lunch, after praying at Grandpa's resting place, we set off to a local Japanese restuarant which Grandma likes very much. I went for the roasted eel in teriyaki sauce with rice. It was really really nice, and could have had another two bowls. Grandma's favourite dish was the barbecued squid.

I felt it was a good compromise, and I'll get something back for the travel and accommodation costs (some but not all), plus I'll will be stilling working and earning the dough. Now we're in the middle of putting stuff in boxes ready for the big move in mid-June. Dug out a lot of stuff that we don't need, so we'll be holding a car boot sale to make some ca...
