It gets to around 21 or 22 on the Island as we are in the gulf stream and do not tend to get the extremes of temperature - i couldn't cope in that heat Joseph - where in the world are you? hugs jan xx

I can still hear the chime of the 'tonibell' van from when I was a child - my friend's dad was the ice cream man and one day he let me go and try at putting the whippy into to cone - its not as easy as it looked lol:-) hugs jan xx

Good one Jan. We are already suffering from that sweltering heat. Air you can wear:)

We are lucky as our little island is in the gulf stream so we don't tend to get extremes of temperatures - i know the UK is sweltering at the moment - its about 21 degrees here and we have a cooling sea breeze , just perfect for me:-) hugs Jan xxx

It's been sweltering in the Uk but not so hot on our little Island.. i don't like the heat too much so I am thankful we have the sea breeze to cool the air a little:-) hugs Jan xx
