With many fingers crossed for rocketing summer temperatures one again, we're bringing you a reminder of some of the hugely popular ice cream parlours we have around Newcastle and the wider North East where you might like to sit in and cool off. Of course ice cream is usually associated with just the kind of sunshine we've been enjoying of late but it is a treat for any time and almost anywhere and it has never stopped families huddling over a takeaway cone on a blustery sea front no matter what the weather whips up outside.
