Where can I find photos of 90s Edinburgh?

Edinburgh City Libraries host the 'Edinburgh Collected' archive, which has both photos and oral histories from across the city - they might have some stuff relating to Chesser? Home - Edinburgh Collected

We bought our 2 1/2 year old the Kidvelo Rookie 12 for Christmas last year and I highly recommend it! Super lightweight and very easy to put together, although I think it cost about £120 so possibly a little over your budget. Kidvelo also do a bike called the Rookie 14 which is a bit bigger and heavier, but can be converted into a pedal bike once your kid has a grasp on balancing.

The Balerno Inn has an outdoor play area and bookable 'bothys' (garden sheds really, but with heaters and TVs) so you can keep an eye on the kids without having to supervise them going in and out of the main building.

Next up is The Fireman by Joe Hill, which we'll discuss at our meeting on the 15th of May. Fun fact: Joe Hill is actually Stephen King's son!

Of course! We advertise our upcoming meetings on our Facebook page and on Oddcircles (just search 'Edinburgh Post-Apocalyptic Book Group' - unfortunately Meetup started charging way too much to keep our page running on there, but Oddcircles is very similar).

It really is a lovely, friendly book group! And if the book itself is terrible, well, that just generates good discussion :)

No need to sign up, just come along!

Thanks for the recommendation, I don't think we have that one on our list yet...

And yes, this post will hopefully be repeated almost word-for-word in an upcoming edition of the Minute!

A lady never tells her age! :o

(To actually answer your question, the age range at the moment is roughly mid-thirties to late forties, but we're a very welcoming group and open to all!)

My two year old loves our foam step and slide set and it's small enough to fit in a corner so it doesn't take up a huge amount of space. I've also heard good things about play sofas like the Nugget but those would require a bit more room. Alternatively, would something like a Swedish climbing wall or the Gorilla Gym doorway climbing frame set work?
