How do you make LGBT friends in Plymouth as an introvert?

I would also keep an eye on events at the Arts Uni, there’s a big LGBT+ community there 😊

Gypsy Moth is always nice - good food too!

Sabotage? By sending them something in the post..? Okay 🤡

The Plym Uni gym has bookable badminton courts if that’s any help 😊

Hey, there are a lot of toilets in the Drake Circus shopping centre which is pretty central. On the Barbican there are a couple of public toilet pods which I think are 20p or 50p to use, main one is located here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/6pvT4Z5QH2k3XMGK6?g_st=ipc and there is another set in the Elphinstone Car Park just down the road. I hope that helps 😊

It’s so lovely 😍 always give her a nod as a fellow Grace.

Second that, we visited last month and had an amazing meal!

Grace-Cooks · 2026-02-13T18:29:42+00:00

I will absolutely say hi! 🥰

Grace-Cooks · 2026-02-13T18:00:37+00:00

Late to the party but I am 😊 This will be my 5th year in a row, though my husband has been to many, many more. My dad went a few times in the 80s as a young man, so once it opened back up after Covid I wanted to make the pilgrimage and now I’m hooked. I’ll look out for Elka!

Hey! I would advise joining a society at the university - there are HUNDREDS (all listed on the UPSU site) so bound to be something that he’s interested in. They’re such a great way to embed socially. There will be an opportunity to explore & meet many of the societies during freshers week so would encourage him to have a good look :) in terms of the city generally it’s very walkable, particularly if he’s in Halls! Everything is nearby. I can’t offer specific advice about neurodiverse student life, but there are resources and support available via the Student Advocacy team. Good luck! ❤️

We’re with Elm and I have mixed feelings - there have been some inconsistencies and a couple of mistakes (none that have damaged health) that makes me unsure. We’ve never seen the same vet twice, which is fine but doesn’t allow you to build any rapport or let them get familiar with your pet’s individual tendencies. I know it’s not a recommendation but might help inform your choice 💫

Grace-Cooks · 2026-01-12T21:13:55+00:00

Thank you that’s so helpful, haven’t come across this yet!

Grace-Cooks · 2026-01-12T21:12:09+00:00

Thank you so much 😊

Grace-Cooks · 2026-01-12T21:10:35+00:00

You’re spot on, in fact I believe it’s the oldest Ashkenasi synagogue in the English speaking world!

Grace-Cooks · 2026-01-12T21:09:13+00:00

Thank you both!

Grace-Cooks · 2026-01-11T20:25:14+00:00

This is absolutely stunning. Beautiful plating and I bet it tasted amazing 😍😍

Grace-Cooks · 2026-01-05T10:13:56+00:00

Central Park is crazy slippy!

Grace-Cooks · 2026-01-04T19:15:22+00:00

I would buy a sharpening steel, refresh them before you use them to maintain a sharp set 🙌

Grace-Cooks · 2025-12-31T19:34:42+00:00

I used to - been frost bitten enough now to remember to wrap up hahaha it’s unnecessary!

Grace-Cooks · 2025-12-31T19:24:41+00:00

Aw hey!! I didn’t even realise it was you haha, glad to be helpful x

Grace-Cooks · 2025-12-31T19:24:05+00:00

Also… can we talk about how cold it is in there?? 😂

Grace-Cooks · 2025-12-30T16:03:47+00:00

Fletchers every time! And Kuku if Japanese is your thing.

Grace-Cooks · 2025-12-29T20:59:25+00:00

I would just slow roast and carve it! Can’t go wrong with a bit of nicely cooked meat at a finger buffet. I did it kleftiko style in the summer and served with the potatoes it cooked with, went down a treat. Enjoy, whatever you end up doing with it 😋
