Hey Siri, define ‘British cocoa grower’

Photo of the front of a chocolate shop. The sign above the door reads ‘hotel chocolat. British cocoa grower’. Overlaid is a screenshot that reads “We also offer a luxury eco-hotel on our working cacao farm in the Caribbean and have set out to bring chocolate happiness to the American market.”

My parents rented a car to help me move into my accom. I have learnt two important lessons: 1. Do not drive in Oxford. What is a 1 mile walk becomes a 9 mile drive 2. My dad shouldn’t be allowed to drive with a gps in miles and feet. He’s never missed so many turns in his life

This reads like something straight out of a medieval chronicle. #MedievalSky "A reliquary containing part of the right hand of Dmitry Donskoy, the 14th-century prince revered in Russia for his victory over the Mongolian Golden Horde in 1380, has been taken to Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine ..."

We’ve been clearing out my grandparents’ house, which has been a difficult and emotional job (but also bittersweet and nice in many parts) The fact that I am a sentimental little hoarder is also not making my attempt to pack up and declutter my belongings to move overseas any easier 😅
