Here we go Hutch.

This was the first 100 yards of our walk.

There was loads more but I was worried AQIS wouldn't allow me to bring back a camera full of dog shit.

Ahhh Galaxy chocolate....my mouth waters at the very thought...cue the Homer dribbling......but TBH I think I may be disappointed. My tastebuds like yours have moved on as the Maltesers my mum has sent over before (I know...you can get them here) have tasted icky. I'm a Dove slave now...mmmmmm

Yep.
Couldn't get any Dove from any of the stores up here for a month.
Pieces (like off a bar) now individually wrapped and in a bag.
There is also supposed to be a new repackaged bar but can't get it anywhere.

Pain in the butt unwrapping them all. :thumbdown:
