The best way to spend time in a rainy day...

Gland - Vaud (Switzerland)

Chocolate making is an art as well as a science, and chocolate makers keep secret the roasting temperatures used, the time given to "conching", and the exact proportions of their formulations, which is why no two manufacturers' chocolates taste the same.

After four chocolates reading is even more enjoyable.

Chocolate is comfort without words.
Reading is comfort through words.

A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.... The man who never reads lives only one.

If I had those yummy chocolate next to me while reading, I'd probably eat the whole box. I have to hide them from myself. :-)

Oh dear ! had better pick up those books :) Those chocs, minus 4, look SO good. Not sure why the Swiss make such wonderful ones. V

That is an exceptionally delicious looking box of chocolates, and what better accompaniment to chocolate, than a good book. Shaw is a good choice. I love your text, as always, particularly the last three sentences. V

Your chocolates look so enticing, I feel I can almost reach in and pick one right now! And a good book is always a pleasure.

They are masterpieces of Swiss Chocolate art. They look 3 dimensional and tempting. "The man who never reads lives only one".

The chocolate is Swiss art. They look three dimensional. I like that quote. I also enjoy GBS
