    I had a Luca's yesterday. Actually I had two as I picked Boyfriend up from his afternoon out and mentioned ice cream, and he insisted that I drive through Musselburgh on the way home so that he could buy me a tub :D

    Lucky girl :)
    Bet the line was massive!

    I'm not a big ice cream fan but I can't go past Luca's :o

    They do have loads of flavours now. DiRollo's (round the corner in Mussy) has always done lots of flavours but it's newer for Luca's. I always have vanilla though because I'm boring (and I also love it).
    Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
    Mortgage today = £161,690.76
    300 271 payments to go.
    House buyout fund £21,000/£40,000

    After I logged off last night I watched a bit of Countryfile and there was a Luca's van in it!!!! Think it was a posh one they roll out for events. The presenter got a double cone and she had to guess the flavour - one was tablet which might be your new favourite Beanie :D. The other one was IrnBru - not sure about that.

    Think the van we were talking about mostly has traditional flavours, my fave is strawberry though vanilla is yum too ;).
