Bristol

[needmorecoffee]

awright moi luvvers. Anyone want to do nuvver meet-up and see dd with her stainless steel teeth?

I wouldlove to do a MN meetup but my appallingly behaved little dears would make me have to namechange

pfft. I've had 4 kids, 3 of whom are teenagers now. Nothing suprises me anymore.
How old are your lot?

6 going on 13 and 3 1/2. Both girls.

how did it go with your dd?

I wouldn't mind, am limited to times.

Wildwoman, don't worry ds isn't exactly an angel

sounds fine. Would a Tuesday do? Desi demanded a Tues and she'll flounce otherwise. How about half term?

Tues, half term would be good for me. As long as someone can give me dates for half term (I know I'm free, but I don't know when it is )

okies, Tues half term. Where? Somewhere I can get too with dd and isn't overrun with hordes of screaming brats (apart from ours )

erm, will ponder on that one.

well will pretend to ponder until someone else comes up with a good idea

City Farm Cafe at St Werburgs is great, although I am a bit too far out to join you (you probably wouldn't want me anyway lol).

It has a marvellous outdoor play area with fabbo climbing frames/slides plus organic cafe selling fabulous cakes, and you can trot across the road to look at the animals on the farm.

hmm, sounds interesting, but looked it up and apparently no disabled access.

Why don't you come along to a meet up? WHat's this fear?
We're not that scary ('cept Crookshanks who steals people's tupperware).

...legal disclaimer - Crookshanks doesn't really steal tupperware.

Armadillo, I know Bristol quite well, my Sister lives in Horfield, not far from IKEA, I live on the Other Side of the river so not a huge distance to come.

I might well join you if plans fit with half-term

Bummer about lack of access, having a think.

well not sure we would want someone who lives 'other side of the river'

LAst time we went to musuem, but thanks to power crazed lady who terrorizes watches over the play area, it wasn't the best.

Oh dear stupid woman

Off now, will continue pondering

Catch up soon

lalalalalalala, wheelchair acessible car arriving Monday so can get places. Although dd only tolerates half an hour before yelling (new anti-epileptic, she is having 'rage' from it)

What about hop skip n jump inKingswood. Its actually for SN kids but you lot could just pretend

why isn't St Werburghs accessible? Is it up 19 flights of steps?

NMC the cafe is a bit cramped have a look here

What do you think ?

I don't know why it isn't - there was a review of it on Days out in Bristol or something and it had unaccessible on it, but no details.

Maybe someone who's been, recently, would know better as don't know when site is updated.

You'll soon be mobile and shooting all over place then, with the car

given dd screams after 10 mins in a car no shotting around for me but we will be able to get to her endless hospital appointments without walking 3 miles or waiting ages for a bus then having it come and not be accessible (dd is total nuisance)
Rang St Werburghs but they ain't up yet so I'll ask them later. There's a cafe in Fresh n Wild so we could meet there and freak out the Clifton Mummy's

pretty looking cafe though. Wonder if we could heave dd's wheelchair up any steps if there were only a few?

St Werburghs said no probs getting a wheelchair in. Either heave it up steps or go round the back.
Not been a car driver before....where does one park?

The cafe is at the end of a no-thru-road so people just usually park by the roadside, there is a turning area at the end of the cul-de-sac, and with a bit of judicious complicated eight point turning manoevering,park by the kerbside.

It is VERY nice there, not been since last summer though

HTH

could park in The Better Food company place and walk up? Is that feasible?

A tuesday!!!

Mind you, I can't see me getting out of the house at this rate - DS has another farking cold...am sick of it! If there was a market for snot I'd be typing this in a mahoosive house with swimming pool and fit butler rubbing my shoulders as I type!

you can go out with a cold you know! DD has had cold after cold this winter. My older 3 had permamnt slugs from age 1 to 4.
Long as its not on his chest he will be fine.
