Hot Choc Diaries || Where to enjoy take-away macarons, cake and an autumnal walk in Stockport

Going for walks and grabbing a hot chocolate on route is my new fave (and only!) activity at present.

I'll forever remember lockdown take 2 here in the uk as the time I really upped my hot chocolate game and sampled way more then normal as it is one of the limited things we can do. All hot choc experiences are rated and stored in my #RPhotchocchallenge highlight over on insta here.

So here I am, meeting one of the besties in the park with our take away macarons, cake and of course a hot choc! With my fuzzy pastel pink faux fur and a bump that just about still fits in it.

I've admired how so many of our local businesses have transformed their model into something that works in this weird new lockdown life. One of my regular haunts is 'The Stables' take away converted horse box in Bramhall Park. They do take away macarons! Need I say more?!

Pumpkin patches, Walled gardens and Halloween headbands - A Tatton Park Tradition

It's tradition, every year me and mum head to Tatton Park to the private gardens especially to see the pumpkin patch. This year against all odds we made it and decided as we wouldn't be having the usual family get together on the night of Halloween itself, the compromise was to wear Halloween headbands! I know, not that adventurous but it's the best we are going to get compared to the usual fancy dress party with a house full of people. It's not happening!

The weather was absolutely glorious and I grabbed us a flat white and a hot choc from the Stables take away café before we headed in. It was so peaceful and quiet, you could almost forget what's actually happening out there over the garden walls in the big wide world.

To end, another tradition is the Gardeners Cottage. An absolute treat after your walk around the gardens. A hot scone, pot of tea and beautiful autumnal scenes out the window. Perfection!
