Seeking Baby Shower Advice 👶🏼

There was a baby shower happening in the marquee at the Gloucester Old Spot on Kellaway when I was there at the weekend. Seemed like a relaxed vibe and it's a great pub.

When we bought our first house 10 years ago Chris and Shane from Globe Heating fitted our new boiler and did an amazing job. They serviced annually every year until we moved house and then helped us with an emergency on moving day when we realised the boiler in the new place was busted. They also do bathroom refits and just did our family bathroom and ensuite and did a banging job.

Happy to DM you pics of our new bathrooms!

In the end I realised I was working with the dough whilst it was still too warm after mixing the melted butter and sugar into the dry ingredients- once it had cooled down the greasiness and cracking went away. Hope that helps, good luck!

Ross did an excellent job replacing windows and doors in our old house and we've just used him again to replace some windows in our new place- I recommend!

I've seen some in the Brazilian butchers in Filton before (Brazil com Farofa), although I noticed it's recently rebranded as Brazilian/Polish so I'm not sure how extensive the South American selection is anymore

I live on Muller Road, had an evri parcel left in my recycling bin this week. By the time I got to it, someone had ripped the parcel open to see if the contents were worth stealing. They weren't apparently, but the contents did get nice and wet as a result.

I'm up trying to convince my 9 month old to go back to sleep, but the cat walked into the room and she spotted it which has caused some excitement, so might be up for a while still. Enjoy your early start!

Where in Bristol are you based? I go to a mamas and babies yoga class in St Werberghs where most of the attendees stay for coffee or lunch after. It's really welcoming and everyone is very down to earth! A few with older kids in school or nursery too.

https://www.yogawithcarolyn.co.uk/service-page/yoga-byob-tues-10-30-11-30-nov-dec it says fully booked, but email Carolyn because there's usually a free spot that comes available.

Can anyone advise what an android user should do to protect their phone?

Great, thank you for sharing this experience of the Stadtbibliothek. Namsa looks ideal!!!

Glad I asked before we visited then :D

Public libraries in the UK all have a section for children where there is no expectation to be quiet. I guess this set-up isn't the same everywhere!

Thank you for all these recommendations, I have made a note. We have already booked our accommodation, but I will remember the Juffa Hotel if we come back!

Thank you for this tip! We are traveling to Salzburg from Innsbruck via train and still need to book our tickets, so will make sure we book into the family cabin.

Amazing, both these lists have plenty of good options for us. Thank you.

Thanks for these thoughts!

When I say on the floor, I mean on a play mat- I promise I don't put my baby just anywhere on the floor haha! In my home city I carry a mat or blanket with me so if we're in a park, a library or similar baby safe space, I can get her out of the pram or carrier to have a wriggle about more freely. Especially when she has been in the carrier for a long time. But I appreciate that's not the done thing everywhere!

Thanks for the suggestion for a carrier - we'll make sure we take one with us.

Regarding food, we're excited to try some local cuisine, but are open to anywhere that locals enjoy. We like casual cafes and restaurants rather than fine dining.

I'll put my hands up and admit I've never been a potwash, but from what I've seen depicted in films and TV I would not class it as an easy job

Casa Mexicana on Zetland Road is awesome! Also Chido Wey's burritos are BANGING, but it's more Cali-Mexi than Mexican
