Here in England cafes are closing for a month. However Caramel (that’s me!) is opening a new cafe right here on WordPress!!! You are invited along every Wednesday throughout November to come and hang out with other bloggers.

We are all getting used to rules chopping and changing from week to week, so there are no rules at CARAMEL’S CAFE. The more the merrier!
So please feel free to place a drink’s order in the comments below. Jack is going to make the drinks. I am here as your cheerful hostess with the mostess.
Think of CARAMEL’S CAFE as a place to drop-in and say hi to some of the most lovely people on WordPress. By all means leave a link to one of your recent posts to help other bloggers find your site easily. Come and have a chat. If you are struggling with keeping your spirits up during lockdown measures, then spend time chatting with some brilliant bloggers.
We are opening up today’s CARAMEL’S CAFE with a little tune to get you all tapping your feet and singing along. We know times are stressful – but we really are going to pull together and get everyone through this – WE ARE THE HUMAN FAMILY! And as we think about the necessities for each day and take one day at a time – Jack and I are giving out virtual bear hugs to everyone!
What a lovely idea!

I’ll take hot chocolate with lots of whip cream.
I’m Greg, and my blog is a continuing story about a 19-year-old finding his way in life, set in 1996 at the fictitious University of Jeromeville, in the western United States. It is a story of coming of age, friendship, self-discovery, faith, the early days of the mainstream Internet, and great classic and alternative rock.
Outside of blogging, life is pretty discouraging right now. I feel like everything that makes life bearable has been taken from me in 2020. I know that as a Christian I should never feel hopeless, and I know that I have it a lot better than many people right now, but I’m still grieving quite a bit.

Greg – hot chocolate with lots of whipped cream coming straight up – how would you like mini-marshmallows sprinkled on top?
You are right – this year has been discouraging for lots of reasons. Even for those who have a clear hope, it is sad to see other people stressed, distressed, and their behaviour deteriorating in alarming ways.
But we want to embrace and contribute to all that makes life wonderful – the hot chocolate Jack makes is just a tiny part of that! ❤

Thank you 🙂 Yes please to the marshmallows!
In my fictional timeline, my last blog post was a much happier one than the last two were, and I have another happy post coming up probably two episodes from now. I don’t want to get stuck living in the past, but if I could recapture some of those feelings now, that would be nice… but then it just makes me sad how much the world has changed and how far in the past those days are…

I’m Katey from What’s on Watson’s Plate – I started a health diary blog after graduating from a Nutrition degree with obesity – I was considered a healthy weight when I started my studies (ironic much?). I’m pleased to report I’m no longer obese, but still a work in progress. Currently, I’m writing about my histamine elimination diet to discover if histamine is the cause of my intolerances.

Sorry I am so late to reply to your comment. I was on a late shift today.

Rooibos tea with oat milk coming up.
I love oat milk. I am not so great with dairy products (I love their taste but my body seems to dislike dairy sadly) We buy a Barista Oat Milk which is lovely in hot drinks.
I love what you are doing on your blog. It is making healthy eating a fun and creative project which is great for motivation.
