I spent most of today with the eldest daughter.
She owns a business called The Chocolate Petal.
Today I was lucky enough to be able to watch her at work making gloriously vibrant bouquets. Each flower has a chocolate as its centre. Fascinating to see how something so delicious and colourful is made.

These arrangements are a great alternative to fresh flowers and depending on the willpower of the recipient will last a whole lot longer. Well, you can actually take out the chocolates to eat and still have the arrangement to look at, its just more fun seeing how long it takes to give in and remove a chocolate!
She sure is a lucky girl. Who else gets to taste test all that chocolate in the course of a working day? (For quality assurance only!!!) And let's not forget having to test the alcohol too.
Anyone interested in seeing her work can check out her website, www.chocolatepetal.com.au.

Himself went off to Gympie this morning, to visit the home of Crossroad Cruisers here in Australia and came back with an assortment of spare bits and pieces. Tomorrow he will do some little jobs around the caravan.
