On Saturday I was a judge for the Valentine Chocolate Festival. Before the event began at 1pm myself and two other judges arrived to sample 22 entires to the contest all of which had as an ingredient – chocolate.

Still, all in all there are much tougher things one can do than to be a judge in a chocolate contest. To do it to benefit a school makes it all the better. (see more on that)
