Wild Bytes Cafe Experience

Today my fellow local writer Emma Finlayson-Palmer and I trekked into the big city (Wolverhampton) to visit Wild Bytes café and see our work in the Black Country Writers project.

We were too early though...so wound up visiting Nero's for a caffeine fix while we waited.
It did not start well.  The assistant dropped my chocolate twist (the last one) and Emma's choice of red velvet cake was bizarrely still defrosting. (at 10.15am? Really?!)

We scored a good table; in the window.  The baby got to work demolishing my chocolate muffin.  Emma noticed there wasn't a spoon to be seen... so we improvised with a straw.  Which filled up with hot tea and burned Emma's leg.

Next, baby decided he was thirsty so I pulled out his sippy cup.  While chatting away, I flipped the lid...which spurted a waterfall of cold water straight into my contact lenses and up the window.  It amused the hell out of the morning clientele.  Soaking wet, I dried off on the inside of the baby's hood.

At last Wild Bytes opened and we wandered in...ready to drink yet more coffee.
The welcome was warm and the coffee was hot.  We read the excellent stories and poetry as baby head-butted Emma and tried to steal her pin badge.

It's a great café with a huge menu. Baby beat Emma with his shoe while I admired the art.
Hooray for encouraging local creativity.  Meant a lot that they were very child-friendly too.
