>INSERT MAN AND MAGIC

After the lengthy phone conversation with the self styled wizard Arthur, I had plenty to ponder. Although not stated as such it seemed he had a serious problem with keeping our two worlds apart and indeed I was astonished they had remained unknown to our people except for the lurid and exaggerated entertainments such as books and films.

We had made an appointment to meet at the Towyn terminus of the narrow gauge line and to my surprise he was clothed just as one might expect of either a wizard or a very eccentric professor but it was the cock eyed conical hat that stuck out a mile, or would have in any other company than those boarding the train who were even more atypical thanks to the Samhaine or Halloween festival they were heading up into the mountains to celebrate. Sex, drugs and alcohol

" Wales has become the newest mystic hippy haunt." I remarked to Arthur "hence their flamboyant fashion clothing" I added jokingly.

"Oh are they dressed unusually? To be honest it seems perfectly normal" he replied.
