Aaaaand... it's time to start the traditional advent calendar again; woohoo! :-)

Right now I have to say I don't quite feel like Christmas is upon us as I'm still sitting in the Western Australian warmth and sun (see current view from our balcony below) but reality will dawn upon me very soon. As soon as we'll get off the plane in Amsterdam in a couple of days actually. 
But let's not think about that just yet. It's December and I can go to the beach... how wonderful is that?!

Pain et chocolat

It's only when I moved away from Switzerland that I discovered that some people don't eat bread and chocolate together. Where I'm from it's the staple afternoon/morning tea. Kids love it. Adults too. It's the basic snack.
:-) 

Over the past few years I found out that a lot of people from other areas of the world find it rather strange to just pop a piece of chocolate on a piece of bread and to eat it all. But that's not going to keep me from enjoying this super simple and super yummy snack from time to time. Especially not with delicious Swiss chocolate brought back from my recent visit!
