Free Ice Cream
Sun, sea & ice cream
As a child going to Rossbeigh beach, crowded with families, check blankets, picnics, men with handkerchiefs on their heads listening to the football on the radio, games in the sea, donkey rides and then the big one being given money to go up to the shop and get a 99. Yeah those were the days mmmmmmmm
hearing the tinkle of the mr whippy van, running down the tar melted path to beg for silver!
Listening to larks singing and children playing while lying on a beach in lovely sunshine.
My friend and I going for massive long cycles on our cheap bikes only to be rewarded with a film of sweat over our bodies and a sense of triumph that we had actually completed the journey.
under d sun were d kids run and play with d ice cream in thier hand running wild in to d beach, parents cover with sand this are d unforgetable moments……
My young grandson, Liam, and his holidays in Achill Co Mayo, what memories!
Yoga in the park
Jumping on the freshly baled hay and the Farmer chasing us away, picnics on the beach and the yearly field for the parish. Those were the days lots of fun and nobody harming anybody when the sun seemed to shine everyday.
Driving to the beach in Dad’s old Morris Minor. Running up n down the beach with the sand under my bare feet, little plastic bucket n spade banging off my (then) skinny little thigh. Waiting with big expectant eyes and bated breath as Dad rattled the change in his pocket to get us all Ice Cream. Aaaaah that first cold lick BLISS. Life was so much simpler then and the weather was actually sunny. Clearly not today or yesterday we’re talkin about, he he!!
Barbecues in the evening, wouldnt let a little rain put us off, Lots to eat and drink and music off course, happy days…

Well Summer is here or is it. Ireland is a strange place but we love it .Summer is wet yes very wet but we still love the old land of creaming making cows for a lovely wet cold Featherbed icecream. We love the heat dont get much of it but we love it anyway.Seating at home in our nice warm homes looking out at the green field to feed our great cows to make our icecream dreaming of floating in the clouds of cotton scoops of chocolate and strawberry .This reminds me of Ireland in the summer what more could you want or ever need……
Sharing a rug on banna beach while mum poured the tea and we the kids had plastic “ponnies” filledwith lemonade or orange.The smell and taste of egg sandwiches and the feeling of being sunburnt as we gulped our food before we rushed headlong into the sea to enjoy another swim before the hackney driver arrived to drive us home again. We didn’t realise it then but “we were happy”
icecream
I think of lazy days with the sound of bees buzzing, the scent of newly mown grass and freedom to roam.
Through the long lovely lush grass in the fields, in the warmth of the evening sun, making hideouts and searching for wild strawberries, fraughans and blackberries, the telltale stains on our lips and the lingering sweetness, long after summer was gone….
Bursting tar bubbles on the road ,as a child changing from school uniform to S-u-m-m-e-r- dresses picking blackberries and eating ice cream mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
lying on the beach on a sunny sunday morning.
Summer in Ireland would not be summer without rain and ice cream with bananas
On our summer holidays with my parents and grandparents in Ballybunnion playing on the beach and sitting on the steps eating Apple pie and ice-cream! The breeze coming up from the sea and the lovely sunshine. My dad covering us in sand and running down to the water.
going down to the river with my friends and cousins to spend the day havinng fun in the water and then afterwords going to the shop to get icecream cones
Well we didnt have a trampoline so we got four mattresses and laid them out and also got the cushions on the couch an jumped off dads work tops and wrestled it was so muchfun and we would spend hours down there and we had a tv down there and the night of the late late toy show we would get loads of sweets and hotchoclate and watch it down there
