Those of you who have met me know my ample girth is testimony to a passion for things sweet and creamy, so it was with great delight that I reviewed the local ice cream/gelato/sorbet providers. The propensity for ice cream to melt in one minute flat (particularly when in a cone) in summer makes autumn and spring the best season for this treat. As ice cream is the great leveller, everyone has the means to savour some of the best ice cream in the world.

The school holidays are just around the corner. These two weeks can be a rewarding time, full of opportunities to make special memories, or a challenging time as parents try to figure out how to prevent the dreaded words “I’m bored” escaping their children’s lips. Allow me to suggest how you could fill one of these days.

You see them at work in their studios, or outdoors on their tribal lands, and when the film is finished you get to examine the fruit of their labours.
