The Ice Cream Man Cometh

We don't live in a city.
We don't live in a town.
We don't even live in a village.
The most our little neighbourhood could be called is a hamlet. If that.

What we do have is an Ice Cream Man. He appeared back in the summer.
All the way from over the border.

I have discovered this ice cream van is what is known as a "Hard van" as the ice cream is frozen and is "scooped" out rather than coming out of a machine.

A change of route meant that the we were now blessed with 99s and lollies once a week. :9

Summer turned into Autumn, then into Winter.. and still he comes.

The weather is cold, wet, miserable, and dark, but as soon as that familiar tune is heard in the distance.... one of our household is usually out, ready and waiting!
