Being in a supportive environment is important to our growth as individuals, not everyone has had that opportunity and as adults we try and create an environment that will nurture and bless our children and indeed ourselves.
Ice Cream
When we were younger, about once a month my dad would take me and my brother and sister to an ice cream parlour - the old fashion kind. It was called Marine Ices. It was run by an Italian family with its recipes developed by Gaetano Mansi and they had a wonderful selection of ice creams and sorbets.
Our dad would allow us to have the pick of the selection available. One of my favorite was knickerbocker glory with lashings of ice cream and their milkshakes were delicious along with their ice cream sundaes with a cherry on top. I remember the chrome furnishings and the excitement of it all.
Our trip to Marine Ices became a family tradition which would be followed by a stroll around Camden Lock which has become a very trendy place to be for millions of tourists each year. When dad passed as kids we kept it up for a while fondly looking back at our memories and each building new ones with our own children.
Do you remember somewhere you used to visit as a child, please leave a comment and I hope you continue to join me on my journey over the weeks, as I share my mixed media houses and look back to the memories of home. I look forward to hearing about some some of your own memories. Blessings and peace to you!
