To the beautiful soul who left this on my window sill yesterday. Thank you 🙏🏼 Weather aside, I was having one of those days where you just feel ‘meh’. Seeing this when I locked up for the evening was the little glimmer of sunshine I needed on my drive home 😊

Massive shout out to these guys at Alnwick Community Fire Station. A fire broke out above the shop and thanks to their quick response damage was minimal and it was business as usual. I’m eternally grateful and proud to have you in the community 🙏🏼 # # #

Meet Eli 👋🏼 I was so taken back when he came through the door I forgot to ask what breed he was but I think he may be an Irish wolfhound.
Don’t forget your pets are allowed in the parlour no matter how big, small, “what in the Jurassic Park!?!” size they are 😳🦖🐾. We have toys and for your pooches too 🎾🦴 Why not treat them to a dog ice cream or a puppuccino 🍦

The drink of wizards and occasionally muggles. Why not try a delicious Butterbeer float? We promise you won’t be disappointed 🍻

If you’re a Crunchie lover, you’ll love our cinder toffee gelato. Ciccarelli’s award winning vanilla rippled with toffee and honeycomb pieces. My all time favourite 😍🍯

As I say to my kids “ just having a taste to check if it’s poisonous” I have the envious job of Quality Control here at the Parlour😉 Today’s taste test is pistachio. Our say If you really want to know if an ice cream parlour has the best ice cream, try their vanilla and pistachio flavours. If they’re good, all the rest will be. Safe to say, we’re all good here 🫡

We’re in for a scorcher again this week guys. Judging by the last mini heatwave when the shop was like Satan’s breath, I’ll be well prepared. Slushes are full ✅ Ice creams stacked ✅ Mr Whippy on loop ✅ Butterbeers ramped to the heavens ✅

There’s no better place to be when the sun is shining ☀️

⚡️ N O T P O W E R C U T S T H O ⚡️
There’s been a high voltage incident in Alnwick and 252 homes and businesses are currently without power.

We apologise for the inconvenience but we hope to have power restored by 1pm as advised by Northern Powergrid.

See you all soon guys 👋🏼
