Ah well, if we're trading winters, I can remember that one, too. We went
for Christmas to my very, very shortly to be stepfather's home in
Snorbans, and the milk froze, forcing cylinders of cream out of the

Eh? It did that MOST winters in Cambridge, at least once, up to
a decade back!

As a treat, I was given 'ice-cream' on a saucer, but I thought it was
too cold, and tried to warm it up in front of the fire...

Yes. I made that in 62/63 - INSIDE my bedroom!
