Zante Ice Cream

Escaped to Zante (Zakynthos) for a quick end-of-season holiday and was thrilled to find some delicious home-made ice cream in the village. Back in April John & Susan Brown drove their 25 year old classic Bedford ice cream van to Greece for a new life on Zakynthos.
They close at the end of October for the season but if you go next year they're well worth a visit (their home-made chilli is great too).
Here's some pics and links...

Quote of the Day

Always interesting to hear people's musings as they choose a flavour; my favourite today was:

"I'd have the Toffee and Butterscotch, but the butterscotch might send me over the edge"

What edge? And why?

Oyster Festival

Busy day yesterday with the start of the Oyster Festival - hope to post some photos later in the week; meanwhile here's one from last week-end:

"...just writing to send you a photo from last sunday in Whitstable having one of your
ice-creams. We don't have them in Spain (I live in Canterbury but I'm spanish).
Have a good summer, very nice to meet you. Sara Castro"

Thanks Sara. I hope you enjoyed your trip to Whitstable and the ice cream

Back in Whitstable

Had a great weekend at Lounge on the Farm in Canterbury last week (waiting on a couple of photos which I will post here) , but will be back in Whitstable this Saturday and Sunday.
Stop Me & Buy One!

Sunday 13th June

Wasn't out on the streets of Whitstable last sunday as I had private booking for
Lynette (my wife's) birthday. Here's some photos of me serving at my gate.

Dystin Johnson's Birthday

Dystin Johnson ( who played Norma Starkey in "Shameless") booked me for her birthday on the beach last week (Sunday 6th).
Thankfully the rain held off and the sun came out for her party, and it was good to see old friends Mark Arden and David Broughton-Davies among the guests.

Thanks for the booking Dystin, and I'm glad you all enjoyed the thunderstorm that came about half-an-hour later!

Thanks for the photos Dawn

Hi Ice Cream Man!

Great ice cream by the way!

          Best regards,

Running repairs

Big thanks to Keith at Herberts Cycles for getting me back on the road after a tricky weekend with a dodgy pedal which kept falling off.
I've now got a new bottom bracket and my left hand crank's been replaced (Oooh Mrs...)

Lounge on the Farm

Looking forward to 3 days scooping at this fabulous 3-day festival in Canterbury.

(Now I've just got to work out how much ice-cream to get in for 10,000 people)

New (old) bikes and trailer

Driving down to Pooole tomorrow to pick up a couple of bikes and a trailer that I bought on ebay. I wasn't really looking for two bikes but they came as a pair.
I've been looking for a Pashley for a while now and am looking forward to the project of restoring them.
I'll probably only keep one of them so if anyone is interested in buying the other one please e-mail me.
If the trailer is any good I'll now be able to take bookings further afield (at the moment I can't get out of Whitstable) so if you're looking for an ice-cream bike for an event please contact me.

Thanks for the photo Lynda

Got this lovely message and photo this week:

"Hi there here come your pictures, all the very best for a lovely way of serving the public with ice cream. God bless you. Lynda from South Africa :)"
