When Thorntons offered to send us a chocolate gift to celebrate Father’s Day, it was a no-brainer. I mean literally ‘no brain’ as I appear to lose all powers of reasoning once the word ‘CHOCOLATE’ pops up anywhere in sight.
Even the postman had a twinkle in his eye as he handed me the package, reading ‘chocolate feast’ off the label.
It’s a staggering amount of goodies in the collection and to be fair, it’s meant for all the family to enjoy not just one crazed chocoholic!
One thing we love doing together is watching a classic family film (we recently caught the hilarious The Three Amigos on Netflix). Whatever we get up to on Sunday, it’s bound to wind up with all four of us snuggled on the sofa, watching a movie while tucking into a banquet of milk and dark, special toffee (pictured), fudge, cremes… bring on Father’s Day!
