A four panel strip cartoon from the ‘Up In The Moor’ series. A packed village hall with people protesting about the ‘thing’ in the woods. Suddenly there’s a screech noise as an older man draws his nails down a blackboard, saying that he will catch the thing (a reference from the film Jaws).

Laurie Lee, English poet and novelist (1914-1997). Lost and in my twenties a friend gave me his copy of 'As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning' (1969), Lee's memoir about leaving England and embarking on a solo journey on foot across Spain. I spent the next ten years in Spain. It changed my life.
