We want the cafe to be a little less sweltering in summer, and maybe need fewer blankets in winter 😅

Give us a hand if you're able, absolutely no pressure. We want to keep this space open, welcoming, and nice to spend time in, especially when times are hard

Okay! Seizing this little patch of more normal weather to try and fix the cafe temperature issues. Whip round for air con/heating?

Got optional rewards for anyone who contributes, one free drink or a £5 book token for anyone who donates a fiver or more!

We've got many flavours of soup in today, and currently the delicious scent of hot tomato soup is making Lali very hungry 😳

Feeling festive! Got our secular queer Christmas alternative this afternoon - a present and a cracker for everyone, and a hearty veggie stew and lots of treats to feast on!
