• 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

"We are all full of ghosts. People that we've hurt and people we have loved and people we have lost. And all of these things are in us. And we've got two options. We either push them down and try to forget about them and drink and party or we make peace with our ghosts. For me, the option for having a full life is to make peace with our ghosts."
