• 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…

:D Love the way you describe your teenager years behind "locked" doors Marc... Maybe I should say I started writing poems at 15 but by 1969 I was 20 - a veteran.
