Monday afternoons with toddler


Recommended Posts

I have my 2 year old and 3 month old on Mondays. By this time of day I need to get out, but struggle to find somewhere for a latte for me, tea for no 1 and a comfy chair to feed no 2. Any ideas? Needs to be open til 5pm I guess and ideally walkable (in ED). I go to the Clockhouse a lot but need an alternative really!

Exactly! Everywhere shuts at 4pm, and I would actually rather stay in for lunch (as its nap straight after) as at midday I still have a grasp on my sanity (not a firm one mind you!). By 330pm we just need to get out - its a long haul til bed/Daddy returns.

There must be somewhere out there open til 5pm willing to put up with us?? It's obviously not just me! :0)

Thanks! Rocca is great, we most weekends. The staff are amazing - best in SE London with kids. Blackbird is a great shout! Never knew it was open that late. We often go up to Dulwich library but no tea options there - right that's my next venture - thanks. Keep em coming though - no such thing as too many options

There is a nice cafe in Christchurch, across Lordship Lane from Dulwich Library. It has toys in a little play area for the children and serves hot food as well as tea/coffee/some homemade biscuits etc.

How hard is it to set up a playgroup in a church hall for instance? My toddler isnt so good with confined spaces!! I'd quite like to organise a late afternoon playgroup just one day a week... Hmmm! I will ask around I suppose.

Sometimes I realize that I actually feel more stressed in a cafe because I'm worried about what the other people think about babies!

I shall have a look around and maybe start a new thread if I find somewhere suitable...

I will give that bread of life cafe a go in the meantime!

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
