• 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.

Love this! I think ageing is underrated in modern society. I'm constantly in awe of the things I do without thinking now that I wouldn't have dreamed of doing in my 20s, 30s, or even 40s. Yes, I have more physical limitations than I did in my youth, but they simply encourage creativity. I have always aspired to the wisdom of my grandfather--makes getting older (and wiser) a joy because it is a goal to reach for. And to reach my grandfather's level, I've needed to have so many life experiences, it's meant a fabulous journey so far with plenty adventure to come!
