• 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.

We gazed from Cardiff’s seafront

as the diamond radiance

of a million stars

glittered in autumn’s midnight.

.

I spoke of my soul’s breech

by the songs

of Bassey,

Jenkins

and the Jones’ boy,

.

of my tears’ cascade

at the majesty

of Snowdon,

the Mumbles

and the hills of Abergavenny.

.

We stood in Celtic brotherhood,

transfixed by moonlight’s

shimmering dance

with the living ocean.

.

I told of my senses’ thrill

at the rampage

of JPR,

Jackson

and old Giggsy,

.

of my lifeblood’s surge

at the splendour

of the valleys,

the mountains

and the sands of Aberystwyth.

.

I asked,

“Is that the Bristol Channel

or the Irish Sea?”

.

He snapped,

“Are you some sort

of a bloody Englishman?​
