• 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…

    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.

Heartbroken:heart::cloud-with-rain: that I am not "authorised" to open my "Special Alert" about the London Litfest. I'm hoping it isn't something personal... like "Hey everyone, let's have a party. But don't tell Rachel, she's not invited."
Anyhow, whether you wanted me there or not, it makes no difference; I won't be able to come anyway. The coffers are well and truly empty so a trip to the UK is out of the question.
However, if you all want to come to me here in Lodeve (in the south of France), the local brothel :cat:is now a hotel and rather charming :kiss-mark:. Just a thought :p
Are their ghosts? There should be ghosts. Charming, but ethereal.

I agree. Cool! :) Hope you all had a great time. Lovely, cosy looking place. With a piano too. Did anyone have a tinkle?

What a lovely afternoon. Great company, venue and food.

Big thanks to @Emily for getting it all together and @Vagabond Heart for suggesting the venue.

Well done Ruby and her crew for keeping us fed and watered.

And I can confirm that all in attendance did indeed have lower halves to go with their normal Huddle tops.
