As I have mentioned a few times before, ever since the hosepipe ban came in effect the majority of the weather has been rain, and as such, the temperature cool/cold. This afternoon, my brother and I went for a walk during a gap in the rain; however, it was still cold and very windy. Then, we heard a particular sound normally associated with warmer weather.
The ice cream truck! Regardless of the fact it was cold, windy, and rainy, the ice cream truck was about and happily playing its tune. Judging from the gaps in the tune, some people were actually getting ice cream in the current weather conditions. Evidently it is their choice, but I found it amusing that the ice cream truck was out and people were getting food from it on a day not usually suitable for ice cream.
As an aside, I was surprised the first time I heard and subsequently saw an ice cream truck over here, driving around the neighbourhoods: I had not read or been told anything about them while living in the United States, so I assumed they were a feature located solely in America.
We've been having similar weather. Nice about the ice cream truck. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember you saying you needed the weather too!
