Ron was legendary in the family for his love of ice-cream. I can see him clearly, about 30 years ago, on holiday in Brittany. We had ordered 'Fujiyama' as dessert, expecting something like an ice-cream sundae. What came was an enormous glass dish of ice-cream, cream, meringue and lit sparklers - just plke an erupting volcanoe. But the spectacle of the desserts was nothing compared with the look on Ron's face, which could only be described as childlike delight and anticipation!
