about myself, i'm george and as i say i live up in north yorkshire. im in 6th form and looking to do film studies at university. my dad really got me into film and now im hooked! Lomo stuff is ridiculously expensive and no fun so i go for charity shops, getting a 'Yunon Deluxe I' and last week an ancient 'Butchers Carbine'. Erm dont really know what else to say.

Which rock do you live next to? And what ice cream? Must be a great chance to do some documentary of customers :-)

I live next to Malham cove and we only serve vanilla! i wish but judging by the way they react to a flake being wonky i doubt they would appreciate me shoving a camera in their face

Nice blog....and welcome!

How close to Malham Cove? I used to visit quite regularly when I live back home (up north) and I'm seriously considering a mini pilgrimage to Dent, Ingleton, Malham Cove and Kirkby Lonsdale, etc. this winter.

I'm quite partial to vanilla ice cream but I don't go for the "Mr Whippy" stuff as I'm not convinced it's ever seen a cow. Oh, and down here (London - and East Anglia where I live) I've never seen any of the ice cream vans offering red sauce or the green (mint?) variety. Cheapskates...

welcome!

You've come to a good place. Wish I had found a place like this when I was a teen.

Welcome Sirbarnzabus! Nice blog. Definitely want to see more pix, but like what you've got so far. How do some of those pix look so pink? Is it the film? Really like the look. Pink has always been one of my favorite colors.

excellent! another guerilla in the war on false ice creams. We serve only the best dales vanilla up here, and of course you have the option for raspberry sauce!
