Today is a bit of a sad day for me - my brother and his family have set off on the final leg of their journey to set up a new life in Adelaide - 10,000 miles away.
On one hand I am so excited for them but on the other it feels like such a long distance to be separated.
In my heart I know that we have many lovely holidays to look forward to both over here and in Australia but that doesn't help how I feel in the short term.
What's a girl to do when feeling down - get in the kitchen of course and what better ingredient to cook with than lovely, luscious chocolate.
These chocolate brownies are deliciously crisp on the outside and lovely and chewy when you bite into them.
Enjoy!
