• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Bonsoir!

It is thrilling to venture a little further is the web maze, and discover a hidden gem like this site.

Now, where to start? Well, As the title indicate, I am French, born under the Mediterranean sun of the South, and a lover of words. After moving to the UK for my studies, I settled in London. It did not take long for my love of words to include the English ones and try my hand at writing in this rich language. Needless to say, it is a daily challenge, even after 18 years! Yet I persevere and improve daily, and I console myself on my imperfect grammar with the idea that, maybe, readers will see my flawed writing as colourful or as an authentic voice.

I am looking forward to reading more of your posts and exchanging ideas, opinions and questions with you.

Yours,
Virginie
 
Bonsoir et bienvenue, Virginie.

Your English far exceeds my very mediocre French. I can't see much "imperfect grammar" in what you have written
It is good to hear from you and I hope you will find much here to help you in whatever writing you are doing.

Thank you Tim! Well, except if you live in France, you have a very good excuse for not speaking fluent French. But now you have a contact point for your French language issues.
