We are gonna be in Reservoir tomorrow (for YL's nails). Where should we visit? Food & leisure. Where can we find the best chilli? Brunch, lunch? Bakery?

Edwardes lake park is nice, and there’s even a steam train to climb on

E: actually, I don’t think you can climb anymore…maybe that’s a more recent thing because you could when my kid was little

2E: remembers kid is now old enough to get his license eeeeeee

Good idea! Bird watch around the lake then pick up YL. 👍 She's driving.

There's also an Italian bakery somewhere near there with good cannoli. Good cannoli at Preston Market too.
