The first joy is a glimpse of the menu, when you realise there are so many different flavours to choose from. What will it be today: chocolate, raspberry ripple, toffee banana or something more unusual like blackberry and apple crumble or liquorice? Hard to pick - they all look so delectable.
Even when you know the one you want there is still the decision of how to have it served. Will it be an old-fashioned cornet, chocolate-covered cone, wafer, or an oyster? Decisions decisions! It used to be so simple. It was vanilla in a cone: the only difficulty was whether to have a flake in it, and that was usually determined by the cost. Ice cream is much more fun now.
I’ll have Turkish delight, please, in a tub.
PS. I'd like to give an honourable mention to Cadwalader's liquorice and blackcurrant flavour. It's just that I didn't take a photo of that! This is Glaslyn ices at Beddgelert

Remind me what Easter’s all about again?
OK. You all know it's not my religion, but don't go thinking that I'm having a go at anyone. I'm not.
