Strawberry and vanilla

As I passed this blossom I thought how edible it looked, like crushed strawberries. Then when I saw white blossom nearby, I was taken back to the ice creams of my childhood. The ice cream van came to our village in Devon twice a week. The first ice cream that I remember was the vanilla block, sandwiched between two wafers. Then came the exciting innovation, a block that was half strawberry, half vanilla. I can still taste it.
