• 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…

A book written by a Swedish behavioural psychologist and linguist Carl-Johan Forssen Ehrlin is currently outselling Harper Lee’s Go Set A Watchman and Paula Hawkins The Girl on The Train.

It's sending children to sleep all over the world. Useful to know, should you have a troublesome toddler.

As a qualified child carer, I find this intriguing and might research more into the book itself. From my own perspective and experience, the main reason bedtimes are stressful is because the parents/carers expect a battle and project their own stress onto the child, who in turn becomes anxious and agitated. Or there's no consistent bedtime routine. You'd be amazed at how successful a bath, milky drink and a story can be.
 
There's nothing remarkable about this. I've read plenty of books that can send you straight to sleep, though admittedly none of them had a picture of Benjamin Bunny trying to start a pillow fight whilst off his face on pot.
