Writer’s Café goes on attracting new interest. There’s a piece in the Milford on Sea newsletter this week and Chris, the owner of Inger-Lise’s where we meet, has even done a literary window display in our honour. This session – every Tuesday 3.30pm onwards - came about after chatting with Chris one day as she’s keen to encourage something like this. As I see it, if J.K.Rowling could write in that caff in Edinburgh, why shouldn’t we? Except we don’t write much, it being more of a social gathering with a bit of literary chit-chat thrown in; a sort of Bloomsbury group in Milford, with better dress sense and more chuckles. Mostly, it’s regulars from my afternoon writing group and whoever else turns up, and they do, proving literary types abound in the area. Ray Peirson is one of them, seen here in the photo next to me, both clutching our books. We writers need to get out more we really do and this is the ideal opportunity. Our chats vary, from life generally, to anything about writing. Last week one of the group read out a poem she’d written, another week we did a mini writing exercise and we talk a lot about books. It’s all go, I tell you, but I look forward to more such interesting chats in weeks to come, fuelled by excellent cakes.
