Easter, Chocolate and Easter Egg

Easter wouldn't be the same without a chocolate Easter egg so I'm glad I got my order in early.

 


Scotland's Top Chocolatiers (15/02/21)

My favourite chocolatiers appeared in The Scotsman recently (see link below) which reminded me that we're running out of hot chocolate - a real treat that's kept us going through lockdown.

So I need to place another order soon in time for Easter.

Scotland's top chocolatiers show us their Valentine's Day goodies and tell us if chocolate really is an aphrodisiac

Giving your beloved a box of choccies is the classic romantic gesture.

Edda Holt and Kirsty Irvine of Edinburgh’s Edward and Irwyn

Edward & Irwyn's Lover's Box, £14

“The Lover’s Box, £14, includes two of everything, arranged in symmetry, so a couple can start at one end and work their way towards the middle, experiencing the same flavours at the same time.

"However, whatever your situation, they’re designed to be delicious, either shared or hoarded, celebrating whatever you wish to celebrate.

“It’s been very popular, as have all our boxes. People come in to buy for themselves, saying that they received our chocolates as a gift and have craved them ever since, which we take as the highest compliment.

"We also do caramel boxes, which contain salted honey caramels and a slab of creamy vanilla and lava salt chocolate, and the larger mixed boxes also feature our real honey honeycomb. Both are a celebration of our customer favourites”.

Chocolate Heaven (18/05/21)


My daughter Kirsty and her business partner Edda have managed to keep their 'hand-made' chocolate business (Edward & Irwyn) going during the Coronavirus lockdown.

The Edward & Irwyn retail shop in Edinburgh has been closed since lockdown began in March, but their online and delivery service is stilling strong.

So if you'd like to treat yourself or one of your friends to some delicious chocolate treats, here's a link to the Edward & Irwyn web site.

LGB Rights - Hijacked By Intolerant Zealots!

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride. H/T @LGBNOW pic.twitter.com/HL87yIXXHg — Fred Sargeant (@FredSargeant) August 2, 2023 No doubt about it - the once proud campaign in support of lesbian and gay rights has been hijacked by intolerant trans zealots!

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
