It's heating up already ☀
We have everything you need to keep cool with Yorvale's amazing icecream, iced coffee's, ice lollies and cold drinks from the fridge. And yes the aircon is fully on so please keep the doors closed 😉 😉
If your gluten free we have a banoffee and caramel cake along with toffee and honeycomb cheesecake or a lemon and summer berry one 😋
Biscoff lovers we have Matthews biscoff cheesecake what goes nicely with a scoop of your favourite icecream. Tina has baked a summery white chocolate and strawberry love traybake whick looks delicious!!!
Or why not enjoy Ebonys cheese on toast which was popular last week it just hits the spot!!
We will be keeping the animals as cool as we can again with lots of hosing down of the horses and ponies through the day and their electrolyte sloppy fibre mash to keep them well hydrated , Hamilton and Little Miss have just had their wallow topped right up and their shade sail is providing a nice cool spot. I gave them a nice coconut oil rub down at the weekend to keep their skin moisturised although Hamilton wasn't thrilled Little Miss loves a good pamper the little diva that she is.
I put a frozen water bottle under the guinea pigs hay to keep them cool to lay near with frozen treats and Barbara the Barnevelder hen enjoys some frozen treats too.
The goats Peggy and Patch are true sun worshipers and I'm sure you will see Lady Muck (Peggy) sunbathing on her tyre!!!

We had an outstanding response to the Summer job position and we are working our way to respond to everyone so please bear with us. We have trialled a few people already and have been really pleased to meet you all and someone has really stood out already but we are thinking of giving the opportunity to two people to help us out.

Hope you all enjoy the sun without overheating and you know where to visit if you fancy a cool treat 🍦🍰🍧🧋🍨🧃

See you all soon ❤️💚

Hi everyone, thank you so much to everyone who has applied for the summer job. We have had an overwhelming response so we are not taking anymore applications for now.

Whats next!!

We will review all the applications and we will be contacting people to trial this week and next, this will be a paid trial so that you get a feel for the job and we can get an idea about you. There will be two places this saturday morning 10am to 12.30, two more places 12.30 to 2.30pm and two more places between 2.30pm and 4.30pm. We will then look to do similar through next week and next weekend.

We will then make a decision. Thanks for all of your interest

After having moved the icecream freezers inside and trialling it out serving your icecreams over the last couple of months in the new parlour we have decided to put the kiosk up for sale.
We thought we would offer it to any of our customers first if anyone is interested please get in touch.
It's been well made and built by a professional local joiner offers around £1500 it comes with double sinks in a fitted work top and water boiler.
We are going to put some cycle stands on the old kiosks concrete base to cater for the many cycle groups we have visit which we hope will be beneficial to you. ❤️💚

Bit of a late night weekly update post juggling lots of different things at the moment and ticking off jobs but the saying better late than never springs to mind 😉

We have definitely had a good run of icecream weather and people enjoying the seating area in the sunshine, Shawbriggs is a special place to us and its nice to share a part of it with you. It's the beautiful view across the fields, a quiet space to read with a coffee or sit with friends and family for a bite to eat and catch up or a walk with your dogs for icecreams and of course doggy icecreams too!! Maybe it's seeing the animals and the great outside space for children to play or watching the swallows in summer you enjoy too or possibly the atmosphere, chats and laughs with us all especially when Matthews about 🙈 what makes it special for you 🌟 💚❤️

This week to make it more special on your visit we have Pistachio and chocolate brownies, Victoria sponge cake, Shawbriggs most popular lemon and ginger cheesecake and a biscoff one too, hazelnut cream filled cookies are back again also the lemon meringue with cream special and lots of GF treats like GF summer berry cheesecakes, Belgian chocolate GF cheesecake, GF caramel and apple pie with a scoop of your favourite flavour icecream . Scones, quiches, sausage rolls and savoury wraps will be available and Taya tried a new dessert she warmed some cookie pieces to have with her favourite icecream and said it was amazing!!! 😋

The past few weeks our beautiful old boy Jasper has been on box rest with laminitis he was xrayed and discovered slight rotation in all 4 feet, I can't tell you how heartbreaking it was to see him in so much pain and the thought of losing him I felt I had failed him after giving him the best care I possibly could in the last 23 years. He had his full bloods done by our vets and has been diagnosed with EMS on top of his cushings disease now.
But how brilliant and fab is it
that he has the best farrier and vets to get him pain relief meds and meds to get his insulin down to make him comfortable and he has the most loving Dad that helps calm his Mum and as a team give him all the best care we can day and night to this week start turning him out longer in the arena which is a joy to see him move so much better, stronger and look brighter and happier.
I feel the luckiest girl in the world again and so lucky and grateful to have such amazing and supportive people, friends, family, my Matthew and to be able to have him at
home with us all the time 💖

Hope this week gives you all something positive or a lucky feeling too, see you all soon ❤️💚
