    There is definitely something magical about Mr Whippe!!! Just can’t get Greensleeves out of my head now.

  • Melinda Kerr

    Melinda Kerr, 7 months ago

    The real tragedy of the story is that Mr Whippy told me off for taking the shot. My childhood dreams were shattered until I realise as you point out Anne he was actually Mr Whippe and not Mr Whippy. Ha ha!! Fraud…

    My in-laws used to own a ice-cream truck like this one. I spent hours in it on weekends while my boyfriend (now my husband) worked in it. It would get stinking hot in summer, but the free ice-cream was fantastic! I love this shot…those colours are amazing!
