The sun was shining in the garden at Honeycombe Hill.
Everyone was smiling and happy. The songbirds were singing and the flowers all looked so lovely.
Bizzy was in her garden weeding and Buzzy was lying on his tummy in the garden, reading a book.
Zubby was practising flying with his safety helmet on and wasn't having much success, but he didnt mind as he was having fun.
Bazzil was at the shop with Mrs Bee. He was helping her to do some tidying up and sweeping the path. Yes, it was very peaceful on Honeycombe Hill today. A beautiful day indeed!
Bizzy stood up and took a hankie from the pocket of her little pink and blue suit. "Oh! Goodness! I'm so hot! I could do with a nice cold drink of something refreshing"
"Me too!" said Buzzy. "Shall I go and fetch us some lemonade?" he asked.
"Hmm. Im not sure if I want lemonade" Bizzy replied "I think I would like something different"
Suddenly there was a noise in the distance. A noise that The Beezles had not heard for a very very long time!
It was Mr Izzi,the ice cream man!! Mr Izzi came from a place called Italy. He had come to the hills of Honeycombe many years ago and had a little yellow and blue van which he sold ice cream from.
Mr Izzi was very nice ! He wore a little white apron and a white hat. He had a curly moustache and the biggest smile you have ever seen!
"Buzzy! did you hear what I just heard?" squealed Bizzy.
"Yes! race you!" laughed Buzzy.
Together they ran to the bottom of the garden where Mr Izzi had stopped his ice-cream van. There was already a queue! Mrs Bee was at the front of the queue, and behind her were Bazzil and Zubby. Then there was Phillip Frog, Fuzzy Wuzzy Bunny,Chewy Caterpillar and Uncle McBuzz.
"Oh no!" cried Bizzy "there won't be any ice cream left for us! There's so many people in front of us!"
Mr Izzi was busy sprinkling some hundreds and thousands onto Mrs Bee's ice cream cone. "Ah! my leetle friend! donta woory! There eeza plenty of da ice a da creamio for everyone!!"
Bizzy sighed with relief! She was sooo looking forward to having some of Mr Izz's ice cream, which was delicious! The best part was choosing what you would like on top of the ice cream.
Mrs Bee had chosen hundreds and thousands, which were like lots of tiny little coloured beads. Bazzil choose raspberry sauce. It was running down the side of the cone and he had to lick it very quickly or he'd have got in a mess!
Fuzzy chose a little chocolate flake, which Mr Izzi stuck on the top of the ice cream. Fuzzy was giggling with excitement! "Oooh" I dont know wath to eath firthst!"
Eventually everyone had been served, and they all stood in the warm sunshine chatting and licking the ice cream cones.
"It's lovely to see you Mr Izzi" said Uncle McBuzz. "Will you be back again tomorrow?"
"Ah" said Mr Izzi "Eef the suna da shine eez here I be back for another day. Eef the raina da come, then I no be here. You likea ma ice a da cream?"
Everyone laughed. Mr Izzi was very funny and he made funny faces when he asked questions!
"Yes Mr Izzi, we all love your ice cream!!" the beezles cheered.
Mr Izzi drove his little van away, playing the tinkly tune that let everyone know he was near.
"Ah! I love warm sunny days and ice cream"sighed Zubby. He was lying on his back in the shade of the trees, and had thoroughly enjoyed his ice cream, which had honey syrup on top.
Everyone agreed that Mr Izzi was a very nice man, and that they all enjoyed his ice cream cones. The Beezles hoped it would be sunny again tomorrow!!!!
