Hi anyone on here that lives near Bath?
Be lovely to know...

Are Fonthill and Bitton close to each other? I’ve no idea of the geography having moved to this area from Kent not very long ago.

Fonthill Garden Centre is in Bitton on Bath Road

Sorry I can’t help with buses though

It’s NO 19 bus from Cribbs Causeway. I think it runs every hour.

Shall I start. I have a lot going on in May. So suggest Tuesday 2nd of June. 2.30 pm. at Fonthill, Bitton.

grandMattie Thu 07-May-26 18:19:43

That sounds fine, but I’d prefer having lunch as well/instead…
I have a long 2-bus journey from north Bristol.
The other alternative is for me to start a Bristol/North Somerset/south Gloucestershire thread. Someone would have to suggest a venue as I have no idea of places to meet!

Cribbs might be pretty central to that group GM.

grandMattie Thu 07-May-26 18:27:44

Good idea! Shall I start a new meeting thingy for that area?

Grannybags Thu 07-May-26 20:01:41

2nd June is ok for me at the moment.

I can easily get to Cribbs too… I could maybe go to both! 😁

Why don’t you start a new thread grandMattie and see what happens

grandMattie Thu 07-May-26 20:22:43

Scary!

25Avalon Thu 07-May-26 21:43:04

Lyndie that works for me too.

That would be fine for me. My hospital date has come through so I should be free by then. Shall we meet on the steps outside?

grandMattie A new meeting thread for those closer to you (or who can go to both) would be a great idea. Go for it!! smile

Daisy25 Fri 08-May-26 08:36:43

So interesting....go ahead and set a date in June? that works for Sparklefizz.
Bitton is the other side of Bath for me, but if that suits most of you it makes sense...

Lyndie Fri 08-May-26 20:28:41

Shall we meet 2nd June 2.30 pm at Fonthill. I will be there.

valdali Fri 08-May-26 21:02:05

I'm the other side Bristol, like the sound of the cake.. will try to come & hope not to do an aldom & arrive the week before!

Grannybags Fri 08-May-26 21:08:54

I buy my plants from the garden centre but have never been to the cafe… until today!

I can confirm that the cakes are very tasty! I was only doing research for everyone you understand 😁

I’ll be there on 2nd June at 2.30

Lyndie Sat 09-May-26 08:03:49

Great. I will wear an orange dress. So you can't miss me. smile

MrsJoy Mon 11-May-26 18:16:33

I’m also in Frome, but don’t drive.

Daisy25 Fri 15-May-26 08:44:38

Frome is a good place to meet for a coffee if you don't drive? There is a lovely coffee shop up the little street with the stream running down it but can never remember it's name. But it does Illy coffee my favourite.

MrsJoy Fri 15-May-26 15:02:15

I love The River House too, which has just had a name change . Do you mean the one at the very top of Cheap Street, I think it is called The Settle?

Barleysugar Fri 15-May-26 17:37:07

Anyone near Taunton / Yeovil / Shepton Mallet interested in a meet up?
