I just wanted to note my excitement here. 2 days ago Pure Bred Chihuahua, my debut novel arrived. It's amazing what a positive partner such as Matthew Read at Pitseleh and editor of PBC and an outlet can have on the energy to write! It took 11 years for this novel and 17 years of novel writing and filmmaking for this to happen. I feel grateful, happy and in need of a great sigh that never seems to come.

Cafe Hut with Mel and PBC#2
So my first review of a cafe experience happens like this.
I drive to town from work for my lunch break and park in Kingsgate and walk upto the Caffe Hut. It's a beautiful day and I have a notebook in my back pocket, A5 in size and it now goes everywhere with me. In my wallet is a couple of quid for coffee and parking and a mini pencil and an turquoise mini retractable pen.
Melanie Sian Vandesande one of the hardest working people I know serves me a double espresso and a cup of water and I sit in one of my favourite spots in town to write. It's warm and I have a view right up the King's Street. Mel is a friend but as a cafe review too her service is lovely and the coffee is beautiful, it is a little more acidic maybe because of the paper cups than some of the smoother multnational's espressos but I'm in the mood for it and I love it, it hits the sides and wakes me up (i'm still asleep at 11.30 ater being up like 5 hours). There is always a friendliness and a down to earth way at the Caffe Hut while sitting with the ladies who would have smoked behind the bike sheds about 60 years ago. I imagine there are some interesting stories in the heads of these customers. I'm thoroughly anti-smoking because my Dad died so young because of smoking and so I feel quite bizarre in a corner of smokedom but I like it.
Then I see Mel wander up to the cutest couple, elderly and in love... she returns with kind eyes and lovely words of her grandparents. I see them holding hands.
Alongside this I write the 1st 2 pages of Pure Bred Chihuahua #2 and so note the time and Mel and the coffee as a momentous occasion for me in this wonderful moment of coffee, sunshine and old romance and a great energy coming through my double espresso.
On this particular visit 2nd Sept 2011
Service-5 stars, coffee-4, Experience-5 out of 5
BTW Huddersfield is a great coffee hub Most coffee at most places s at a 4 or 5 standard ... I'll go into that when I review the cities

A Small Realisation about PBC
Its taken a while but in a nutshell Pure Bred Chihuahua and future PBC books are about the war for Awareness, individually and in every dimension.. In and of which we are an integral part! I take a while to gather the big picture!

Pure Bred Chihuahua - 1st Reading of the 1st pages
Hey, well I'm new to reading out loud and especially at reading out my own work.
I hope you find it a little intriguing and I'll find some more parts to read and upload those too.
