Hi I moved to live in Malta from Guernsey in the Channel Islands 2 months ago as my husband works in Libya. I have a 14 year old daughter, Imogen, who goes to Verdala and a 2 year old son, Monty.
We are living in Madliena and I am looking for some other mums with to meet up with who have children a similar age to Monty so that he can play and socialise and I can meet some new friends.
I look forward to hearing from you :-)

Hi Doris
Lovely to hear from you, how are you settling in?
We are not far from St Julians, just up the road in Madliena... when would you like to meet up? I am free every morning next week apart from Friday.
Best regards

Sounds good - shall we go for tuesday morning? What would be a good place? Still haven't figured out where children just can run around and mums can have their coffee? :))))

Rachel.Remfrey

Me either really, but I think probably the best place is the Kitchen Garden at The Presidents Palace in Attard (San Anton Gardens) have you been there yet? If the weather isn't nice then I am not sure ... can google and have a think on that one? Unless you have discovered any gems that :-) ? Forgot to say Tuesday is fine :-)

Hi ladies.. Just to let you know there is a new play cafe for toddlers in qawra its called Quattro kids play cafe. Its a small indoor play area and a place for the mums to have a coffee or whatever! It is just off mosta road as you are going onto st pauls bay. If you google it you should find it and directions 😊

Rachel.Remfrey

Hi Doris
Why don't we give the Quattro Kids Play Café a go, I looked up the address on Face Book and it is in Grifen Street, SPB 1062 Buggibba.
Shall we say 10.00 on Tuesday?

Hi Rachel! Sorry for the delay. Yes why not? Thanks stef88 Have been to the Presidents Palace its brilliant if the weather is nice. The only thing I have to check is if I can go there by bus. Thanks for the address. 10 on Tuesday it is :)))

stef88

No worries. To get to the play cafe by bus you would need to get off at the main road running through st Pauls bay (mosta road) first stop after the roundabout and then just cut down the side street. You would need to get a bus that's heading towards bugibba or mellieha 😊

Hi Doris

I look forward to meeting you next week :-) what's your little boy called?

Hi Rachel
Just realised that there is a Halloween Party at Quattros on Tuesday (which is also sold out) shall we do Monday or Wednesday instead? Doris and Devin

Rachel.Remfrey

Hi

Shall we go for Monday at 10.00? Do we need to book?

Rachel & Monty :-)

doriscalling

maybe agood idea - even though weekday and no school holidays can't be full

Rachel.Remfrey

Hi :-)

Can I be a pest and say Wednesday instead of Monday? I will call them and book for Derwin and Monty at 10.00 on Wednesday if that is ok by you as I think it is the Maltese schools 1/2 term next week

doriscalling

oh I see diddn't know as Verdala had already their holiday - Wednesday it is and thanks for booking

Rachel.Remfrey

Thank you  :) yes my daughter is at Verdala and they had half term from Mon 20th but the Maltese schools only went back after the summer hols on the 29th September.
Is the venue ok for you? Will you be ok with the buses and getting there?

doriscalling
