We had Trecia visiting from London for the weekend for a whistlestop tour of Glasgow and the West.
We had taken her on the Glasgow tour with stop off at the People's Palace and Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum and had hoped to take her for afternoon tea at the Willow Tearooms but had run out of time and we would not have got there before it closed for the day.
So on the steps of the Kelvingrove we had a quick reassessment and decided that we would have a small refreshment stop before finding an Indian restaurant to demonstrate why Glasgow is a contender for Curry Capital 2015.
So where to go? It did not take us long to decide on Nardini's because it had gone down so well with our previous guests.
As we approached we realised our arrival was coinciding with the school run and I was worried that we might miss out on a table.
However we found a table and with vanilla ices and coffees all round we were sated. Thanks Nardini's for providing a wonderful introduction for yet another friend to the delights of Scottish Italian ice cream.
This was a great interlude before our main event at Koolba in the merchant city

Nardini's, Byres Road, Glasgow
Parveen and her kids Isabelle and Rohan were visiting us but had unfortunately had to cut their holiday short due to other commitments which meant that we did not have time to visit Nardini's in Largs.
We were doing the Glasgow open top bus tour and had decided to stop at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum which is within a short walk of Nardini's so that was decided. The Haynes family's introduction to the delights of Scottish Italian ice cream would start with one of the best.
The Kelvingrove Gallery & Museum was enjoyed by all and Parveen was introduced to Charles Rennie MacKintosh's designs and the art of Margaret MacDonald and the Glasgow Boys.
So we walked up to the middle of Byres Road. As always with Nardini's it was busy when we arrived but by the time we had decided who was going to have which ice cream, a table was vacated. The kids had Honeycomb Explosion and Parveen had Caramel Swirl with Peanuts. I of course had vanilla. Izzy had a waffle cone and the rest of us a single scoop in a glass. Hot drinks in the form of coffees all round and everyone tucked in.
All I could hear was Mmm and Aahh as they all enjoyed their ices.
Suffice to say that the visit was a hit and a highlight of their short introduction to Glasgow.
Come back soon Haynes family and we can continue your introduction to the iced delights of our wee country.
