All a bit of a trek for me I'm afraid! This place isn't bad though, especially after a walk up the hill on a warm day.  |

Well, dang me! I idly clicked on that just in case the wonderful Capaldi's of Brora got a mention, and there it is! I can indeed vouch for the extreme nomness and excellence of its ice creams. The promise of one was a most effective bribe when needing to persuade the children to go on a 'healthy' (i.e. rain-lashed, gale force 9) dog walk along Brora beach. The story was that the original Mr Capaldi was one of a number of Italian prisoners of war at a camp up in that area who chose to stay on (or presumably went home and came back again) after the war to make a living there. |

It's the same story for many of the Italian cafes in Scotland, GG. There aren't so many as there were, but both Edinburgh and Glasgow still have a fair few.

I'd add my recommendation for the Harbour Bar in Scarborough - a real piece of fifties nostalgia and just what a seaside ice cream parlour should be. |

Nearer to home, PW, there's Marocco's on the Hove seafront - near the King Alfred Centre. Very Italian, very 1950s and the ice cream is extremely good.  |

If anyone is up North (Martle you'll have to get off the train next time!) I can recommend Bonds of Elswick. Bonds ice cream is fantastic! Elswick is a nice little place to visit too. |

Good morning. It is bright here.
Laryngitis is not a pleasant thing to have. I had it a few times. The worse thing is that one really can not talk in iether language.
I hope you will feel better soon. It does eventually go away. Can you play your tuba with laryngitis? I can play piano with it.
