I work in L&D, with a sideline in theatre. My interests include green issues, interesting old cars (mainly 60s, 70s, and 80s everyday stuff), SiFi, Theatre, and writing. I have an unfinished novel; who doesn't?

RAF Wethersfield has housed asylum seekers since 2023. Essex Police say crimes and incidents associated with the site are very low. It's evidence worth considering amid the controversy over RAF Barnham.

Dangerous forces may conspire to threaten the Elmwych Paranormal Investigation Club, but thankfully there's still time to enjoy a cosy drink in a quirky venue. All free to read at elmwych.com. Cheers! #supernatural #vampire #comicart
Panel 1. Exterior night view of a bar in a converted Georgian townhouse called Cinnabar. Word balloons point inside.
Griff: So, what do we make of this red guy?
David: Some kind of underworld guardian for our mystery cloaked apparition?
Panel 2. In a corner of the bar the Elmwych Paranormal Investigation Club sit on sofas. Behind them is a large decorative sculpture of a woman, part of the original building.
Dylan: Protecting 'her' is what he said!
Amy: I noticed that! And whatever Wintergarden is, I get the feeling we are stepping into new and dangerous territory here!
Griff: If you can believe a bad tempered, overcooked gargoyle!
Lydia: I think he's cute!
Panel 3. Change of angle. We now see into the main bar behind them.
Amy: He seemed genuine to me. Let's see if we can turn up any leads on Wintergarden.
David: Agreed: We can't walk away from something this big! Let's meet at the Rookery tomorrow night. But we have no idea what we're dealing with now, so...
Panel 4: Change of scene: Evan Doncaster stands outside a large house. In the foreground, a pair of boots are in close up, walking towards him.
David (caption) we need to tread carefully!
SFX: KRUNCH KRUNCH
Doncaster: Ah, Miss Wintergarden! Those local amateurs you mentioned... the so-called 'Elmwych Paranormal Investigation' Club? 
Panel 5: Close up of Doncaster, who is whittling a sharpened stake.
Doncaster: I think it's time I paid them a visit!
