• 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…

Clean worktop I see, well done ... or is that why you went for the close up photo?

You do know that those 5 grains of sweet corn don't count as 1 of your 5 a day, don't you.

I must say it looks blimmin delicious. I hope it came with a beer or two.

Lesson learnt. Once bitten twice shy. ;)

Cookery books are very popular, so who knows Jonny, this small start could the the beginning of a new culinary side-line. "Jonny's Italian".

It was very nice - that with a cold beer - very nice. Problem was it was Berkshire and not Naples. Still 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

In Palermo we wanted to eat at a place where we always saw people. Finally a quiet evening and everything we wanted they were out of. So they said they'd make us a vongole pizza. It came and I confess it was not what I anticipated. Pretty sure he'd just taken the pasta sauce for that night and poured it on pizza dough. No cheese. That's your lot mate.
