Oh my! What else is there to say? I spent an hour of my morning enjoying a raw food chocolate treat at the Quail Cafe, washed down with a latte, and riveting conversation with a like-minded friend. Set in the lush subtropical shade of the Quarry Gardens in Whangarei, this is honestly set to become my new happy place!

Just quietly it’s a secret I’d rather keep, but for readers of my Just Series of books, who are heading out to Whale Bay, it must be shared as it’s only a couple of minutes drive off of State Highway 1. You can Google it for directions.

So now the secret’s out I guess I’ll see you there... I’ll be the one tucked up in a corner of the terrace reading, or writing, looking smugly content with a belly filled with... you guessed it... chocolate.
