• 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.

It was fun to be with four out five of my kids, a husband, a son-in-law, five grandkids and two dogs. We stayed in a nicely refurbished house built in 1905. It had five bedrooms.

As for writing, I got to the half-way mark editing a book I wrote 18 years ago. Called 'Vanish', it always had potential, but I have rewrite every... single... sentence. It's a Christian one, with some Sherlockian elements. I'm almost two-thirds done now. I'm going to revise a book I self-pubbed a few years, which also needs help, put in some connectors, and make the two a series (of two). I'm excited about it!
