A local Welsh ice cream company is restoring a beautiful old park keeper's house in Penarth to bring a stunning new parlour to the seafront, serving ice cream as well as waffles and coffees.
Taking over the 140-year-old building, which is situated at the southern entrance to Windsor Gardens on the seafront, Lauren Evans, 26, who runs Fablas Ice Cream with her mum, Michelle, is hoping the parlour - which will embrace the 1881 building's historical features - will be ready by the summer holidays.
After acquiring the keys last year having first looked at the property which neighbours hotel Holm House in 2019, Lauren tells us it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing. She laughs. "If it was easy, everyone would do it, wouldn't they?"
