Caffe Nero Makes My Day

31 August 2006 No Comment

Cafe Nero on Wednesday was a delight. It’s a spacious italian cafe in the heart of Edinburgh’s Lothian Road.

After a short walk and a little shopping (yay! for double changing rooms) Erin and I stopped off for coffee. There was plenty of space for my ‘larger than average’ buggy :) I located a table near the back where I thought I could feed Erin in relative peace. No, this isn’t a blog post about breastfeeding. Erin’s up to three meals a day now and like her Dad enjoys her grub. The barista happily* heated Erin’s celery, apple and courgette soup for her.

I say happily because usually even if you are lucky enough to find somewhere prepared to do it (health, safety,food guidelines??) you usually find that you are made to feel like you’re asking them to prepare and cook the bloody meal, not just shove it in a microwave for 30 seconds.

Erin enjoyed her soup and I enjoyed the super-strength coffee.

If that wasn’t enough joy for one day…they even had a toilet large enough to fit me, Erin and the ‘larger than average’ buggy. Man, I don’t remember considering going to the toilet a luxury before having Erin….

Moral of the story?

People have babies. People need to go to toilet. People can’t leave said babies ‘loitering’ outside. PROVIDE DOUBLE TOILETS FOR POOR ‘PEE PEE’ NEEDING PARENTS.

Thank you
