Glimpses of British summertime cheer

Hindustan Times

In Holland Park, a long stone’s throw from where I was staying, there was an unceasing crowd around the ice-cream van. Was it Coleridge or was it Browning — Google suggests it could have been either or both — who first said, ’Oh to be in England now that spring is here?’ Actually, summer is a better time.
