Mummy who lunch


Alison texted me Sunday asking me if I'd like to meet her up for a lunch this Wednesday. I asked her to suggest a venue. Here we go! Joesph Bramah, the new coffee place in town, it's actually a pub, but the decor is very stylish and new, it's more a cafe than a pub to me. Alison added that Joesph Bramah is a baby friendly place in her text... Alison has no children herself, guess she doesn't want to see me abandoning my coffee half way through because baby won't settle...

Though I was a bit stressed in the morning due to searching Daniel's birth certificate after the Chinese visa agent phoned for that. (memory has really been worsen by the birth of baby or simply getting old?), I still managed to get Daniel ready by 11.30am and left home about 12am, parked car at the supermarket car park, which is for free. Met Alison in time in front of the cafe.

The cafe was brilliant. A cup of cappuccino for 69p compared to £1.50 at Startbucks. They do two meals for one price all day everyday. Pre-baby I used to eat out with Alison a lot as Terry was working away, but all outing were in the evenings (I tend to take short lunch break to get more time in evening for exercises). We never managed a lunch together during the work days. Today I had pasta meatball and Alison had five bean chili with rice. The taste was quite good. Daniel has been fast asleep in his pram while we were eating and chatting. Each time he start to stir, I would kept jiggling the pram and he would doze off again. Alison was amazed how Daniel had been behaved... my yummy baby behaved! Guess he wants his mum to be a yummy mummy who lunch..Well, we will go again!

Here in London you get nothing at Starbucks for £1.50 :) It's more like £1.89 for the smallest size... If only I wasn't so addicted...

I was almost going to say that a cup of coffee in London would probably cost £2-£2.5 in my blog. £1.5 is more or less the price in Leeds or Manchester... maybe it is the Nero price as I collect Nero stamps. Well, one of the advantage to live in the north, cheaper coffee...
