Winter Warmers

I don't mind winter in Australia, infact I actually quite like it. Compared to winter in the UK, it isn't too unbearably cold. I love rugging up in cosy knits, boots and scarves and going out for refreshing winter walks.  I also enjoy snuggling up on the sofa with my kids, watching a movie and drinking hot chocolate.

I must share our favourite hot chocolate recipe as it's really very simple and extremely indulgent!
Heat milk on the stove in a saucepan, add half a block of chocolate (broken up) and stir until the chocolate has melted - it's divine! Half a block of chocolate usually does about 4 mugs worth of milk.  Add more or less chocolate according to taste...yummy...


Got my eye on these rather nice knits at the moment!

  4. While most people in the world are going into their summer, we are getting rather cold in Melbourne as our winter has officially commenced. Bring on the hot chocolate, and the jumpers!!! It's freezing today...
