A new way of looking for a Creative Café



I’ve made a decision about a new way of looking for a Creative Café. On the Find a Café page I had tried to list all of the cafés I’d ever come across by town, county, country and post code. The list was becoming unwieldy and didn’t look all that attractive.
Now I’m going simply describe how to search the site for a café. Each café info page and any review of it is tagged with the post code, town, county, country and the activities it offers.
I shall keep a list of Create Café Project activities on the Find a Café page. These will link to posts about cafés that offer these activities.

Writers in cafés: Gill James at The Art of Tea, working on Girl in a Smart Uniform



The Art of Tea in Didsbury village is my sort of place. I spent a pleasant afternoon there recently as I took a day’s leave. What does a writer do on a day’s leave? Sit and write of course. Busman’s holiday or what?
The holiday bit, I guess is the sitting in a café and enjoying some expertly brewed camomile tea and a rum slice and people-watching at the same time as writing. Certainly, being out and about and amongst other people helps to combat the feeling of isolation. Is that why we writers enjoy working in cafés so much?
