Driving us mad ... to Chocolate

We have a learner driver in the family. Not only that, we are aware we will have two more next year. Catriona's been slow to get her hours up - after well over a year, she's nearly at the halfway mark. We mean for her to make it to 120 hours by January or so, so we can start teaching the boys.

Now, how do you fit in driving practice on the weekends? Well, nobody had anything special on today, so we went out to Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery for a visit. An hour's nice varied drive, then chocolate when you get there! Then another hour home. Sure, it's time wasting, but its for a reason.

We bought some gorgeous bars, with bush food ingredients, like the fabulous Lemon Myrtle (yum!). And we had better-than-average hot chocolates.

Next month is their Hot Chocolate Festival - a different posh flavour every day.









Here's our driver, about to hit the 60 hour mark. Hooray!
