The longer days and lighter nights make everything better.

Just managed to catch some gold hour light last night. #northyorkshire #summer #fields #nofilter

It's now perfectly acceptable to eat even more ice cream now that it's getting warmer.

How gorgeous is this boat we spotted on the River Ouse yesterday - it has an actual ice cream van on the back! %u2764%uFE0F%uD83C%uDF66#twohootsicecreamboat
