Halloween treat

Today we had a special treat..... we used the chocolate skull melter from Fortnum and Mason!!

First we got a mug full of milk.....

And then got the chocolate skull out of the box....... oo-er, he's kinda scary!

Then we had to heat up the milk in a pan.

While Andrea was doing that, I got the chocolate skull into the mug.

Then we poured the milk into the mug and started swizzling the skull in it!!!

You can see the brains coming out!!!

Schlurp..... that's yumtastic!!!!

A Surprise visitor!!!

This morning, we suddenly heard a loud banging at the front door!!!  What's going on?

When we opened the door, we saw a small mouse! "I'm Cocoa.  Have I arrived at the right place for the Beanie's?"

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We heard you were on your way!!!

Come on it!!!  You must be exhaustipated after all that travelling!!!

Come on in...... it's this way.

We've got comfy chairs and bis kwits.....

You'll love it here!

Ah, you brought your passport and drinks!  Excellent!

First of all you need an arrivals stamp in your passport.

This one is of the Brighton Pavillion.  We'll take you there for a visit - it's amazing!!

Then we need to have a drink. You must be thirsty by now..... OK hot chocolate is always good.

OK, read the instructions.....OK..... easy peasy.

Pour the contents into the Mouse Mug and put the kettle on.

We'll have this with Tesco shortbread.  We don't have any Fortnums bis kwits at the moment (that's a whole expedition on its' own!) but shortbread is still good for dunking.  

Tuck in Cocoa, and then we can discuss expeditions.....!!

We got a package!!!

We got a big box yesterday!!  I love getting big boxes!!

OOOOoooooo!!!

Fudge Kitchen?  I know that name...... we found a Fudge Kitchen shop in Oxford a few years ago!

Oh YUMMM!

So - what did we get?

Salted caramel drinking fudge!!  That's like hot chocolate!

Oo, scrunched up paper!  We can make sketch books with that!!

Oh now, what's this?

Treats???!!!  For me?!?!!  Oh, I have to share them with Andrea..... Hmm.

Slices of fudge!!!  We got six different types in here!  FAB!!!

And a free sample as well?!?!  This one's a Himalayan salt caramel button!!!

Andrea said I could have that all to myself!!!

Andrea's good like that, you know....!!!

 

The Beanie Family Holiday, day four

When we got up on Tuesday, we had a coffee to wake us up

And then we went down to the arcade games at Weymouth!!!

They weren't open yet so we had a horse ride....

And then went round the shops!!

We found some skulls

And a mingo for Dilly!

Then we went over here...

And saw an amazing sign on a wall!!!

We went in for coffee and their bar was made up of front doors!!!

It's brilliant!!!!

We had a cappy chino and Arnty Bev had something else.

Then we saw the toilet signs!!!

They're funny!!!

We left a CD on our way out!

We spotted a WW1 soldier statue as well.

And the oldest pub in Weymouth!
