Jelly is good for home workers

This week I attended the first Jelly in Bath.  What, you may ask, is a Jelly when it’s at home?  A Jelly, good people, is a gathering of home workers, and any others who might fancy a change from their normal workplace, in a cafe, office space or someone’s home.  There is free wi-fi access, a table to work on and plenty of chat.  It’s called a Jelly because it began in New York, and apparently the two guys who dreamed it up were eating jelly beans at the time!

Bath’s first Jelly was held at JikaJika, a large new coffee shop in George Street, which sells yummy cakes and sandwiches and astonishingly powerful coffee.  (Oddly enough, the building used to be an estate agents, and I was responsible for cleaning it for many years, so it’s nice to go there and not wield a mop!)

About nine home workers turned up with their laptops, from Bristol and Somerset as well as Bath.  Most of us hadn’t met before, and so useful connections were made.  For example I met a social media consultant who gave me an impromptu seminar on how to use Linkedin.  Everyone seemed very happy with the way the day went, including the coffee shop manager, so with luck they will become a regular event.  I’m going to see if I can get a Frome Jelly organised, so if you would like to know more, please get in touch.
