London to Bath to Glastonbury
-After breakfast we took the tube to the train to meet our dear friend Michelle and her family. We met Michelle and her family when we moved to Port Jefferson, New York 8 years ago and Madeline went to school with her boys. Sadly (for me) in October they moved home to England to be nearer Michelle’s mum. But now it appears to be a positive as Michelle will be packaging and shipping our Chocology orders here in UK! I love that we are all connected as coworkers AND as people. Life is good!
When I mentioned to Michelle how much we love Indian food, her husband Joe whipped together a lovely Indian meal and we all enjoyed catching up and making Chocology plans. It felt so good to be in a home and with good friends.
Madeline and the chaps stayed up playing games until midnight! It was so cute in the morning when they all said staying up late was great fun but “it wasn’t worth it in the morning.”
Happy travels,
Linda and Madeline

From unexpected moments in the shop to a very personal chocolate journey, Bloom reminded me what happens when we slow down, stay curious and notice. And now, something new is beginning...
