• 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.

@Terry Lowell - what a fantastic story! I really enjoyed it. Great comments too, and I completely agree with them.
