    Ooh, some lovely ideas. I adore ice-cream with a hot sauce, especially chocolate fudge. And I love buying ripe bananas at a knock down price at our local shop (15p a bunch last shop) and freezing the lot for instant ice-creams.

    great round up elizabeth – makes me want some ice cream – I confess I haven’t been in ice cream mode because we haven’t had great ice cream weather – despite having a child who could eat ice cream for three meals every day!

    BTW watched an Australia show about Scottish independence referendum tonight and they spent a bit of time in Shetland so I was thinking of you – such beautiful scenery!

      I can’t imagine this time of year would be ideal for ice cream for you – does it get very cold? Do you have snow? The Scottish Referendum is quite a hot topic here in Shetland, but I’m undecided of yet if I am going to vote or not. I have no idea if I will spend the rest of my life here in Scotland or some day move back to Canada.

        E would like to vote but can’t because he no longer lives in Scotland. So I guess it is up to those who live in Scotland now to vote in the referendum. In Australia voting is compulsory so I always get surprised at the low turnout in voting in countries where it is not.

        We joke that our cold days are a balmy day in Scotland – the weather is a high of 17 C today which is fairly normal and will drop to a cold 13 C tomorrow. However though it probably seems warm to you – it is cold here but I am sure it will amuse you just like Aussies laugh at the ‘warm’ weather in scotland (22 C is a really lovely mild day in Melbourne). When I was first told that 25 C was a heatwave in Edinburgh I thought my friend was joking but then I found that it really was horribly hot there because the buildings aren’t made for heat. Likewise our buildings aren’t really made for really cold weather so we feel it more. There is snow in the hills outside melbourne but rarely in melbourne.
