Residents at Westergate House celebrate National Ice Cream Day during heatwave
Perfectly timed in the middle of last week’s record-breaking heatwave, the celebration was a brilliant excuse to sample lots of cooling treats and to enjoy the sizzling summer temperatures.
Staff and residents at the care home experimented with many different types of toppings and flavour combinations, overseen by the head chef – from the exotic, to the alcoholic, and back to the traditional. The delicious variety included sorbets, frozen yoghurt and good old dairy-based ice cream.
