Ice cream ......disaster

We took our grandson out the other day to a really yummy popular ice cream parlour a drive away from where we live. As we attempted to park up somewhere fairly close to the parlour we noticed the queues snaked for a considerable way around the back of the building and along the road ! It was a hoit day, did I tell you that ? And us Brits when the sun i out we grab every chance to enjoy it and that means icecream. We parked up a walk away. We queued and queued and our grandson was getting impatient asking "are we nearly there yet " ...."Are we near the end yet ? " Finally we were served each with our choices of ice cream and secretly wishing we had chosen the flavour we always have ! We waited to cross over the road to get back to the car, licking the drips as we stood there. We croosed. We startted to walk and the icecream cornets were now beginning to melt and collapse. There was nothing we could do to stop the flow of raspberry ripple icecream and starmix and rhubarb crumble flavour..they were all melting onto the pavement creating the worst sticky mess ever. I tried to wipe our grandson's icecream and accidentally knocked the cornet to the ground. Can you imagine ??? Our grandson was really good about it, so we laughed. Maybe icecream and hot weather are not always a marriage made in heaven.
