Bulwell care home residents celebrate National Ice Cream Day
Staff and residents at Hall Park care home in Bulwell had a fantastic time celebrating National Ice Cream Day, using it as a brilliant excuse to sample lots of cooling treats.
Staff and residents experimented with many different types of toppings and flavour combinations, from the exotic, to the alcoholic, and back to the traditional – sorbets, frozen yoghurt and good old dairy-based ice cream, they tasted and savoured them all.
Jodie Rakhra, general manager, said: “It wasn’t just the residents that were excited when we found out there was a National Ice Cream Day – the eyes of the staff lit up too.
"Who doesn’t love ice cream?
"We have all had a great time trying out new flavours and toppings, it was a wonderful way to keep cool in the heat.”
Maureen Sullivan, a resident said: “I absolutely love ice cream, there really isn’t anything nicer on a hot summer’s day.
"We had loads to sample with all kinds of different sprinkles and sauces.
"They were all truly delicious.”
