2 lawnmowers going within 1/4 mile of us yesterday and the raucous sound of "Popeye The Sailor Man" played with full-on distortion has just announced the arrival of the first ice-cream van of the year in this neck of the woods.

 

Cue the old Jewish joke ...

 

"Dad!  Dad!  That's the ice-cream van.  Can I have one?"

 

"I've told you before, my boy,  He plays that when he's sold out ..."

yep, saw an ice cream van yesterday and our grass cutter guy (not gardener, makes me sound posh) is coming round tomorrow to give the lawn its first trim of the year

 

went the park earlier with the little un and there were people in shorts and flip flops, it was blinking freezing this afternoon though they must have gone out this morning while the sun was out

Two Austin Morris workers were walking through Cannon Hill park 40 years ago

 

"I see the crocuses are coming out"

 

"Do you think we'll be striking in sympathy?"

Climate is so mild here the grass grows all year round, just slower in winter. Our garden waste collection is weekly all year round. We compost what we can though.

We get ice cream vans all year too.
