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.
