[Margaret Pilkington]

Having milk delivered straight from the farm.......no choice as to skimmed or semi skimmed....but, you old have half a pint straight from the churn into your milk jug...then you put a Lacey doily weighted with coloured beads over the top to stop the dust or flies getting in.
No-one I knew had a refrigerator or freezer...so no frozen fish fingers, burgers or peas.
The birtwells ice cream cart came round every weekend and you would go out with your glass dish...or you would choose a cornet.....sprinkled with raspberry vinegar(yum).....or you could have an ice cream sandwich. The ice cream was buttery yellow and the taste was far superior to anything you can buy in the shops today.
