 Some pictures from last month when Jane Christian and I were walking along a section of the Norfolk Broads near Loddon including: three mills ancient & modern; Swallows & Amazons are alive and well; and the Hardley Cross – the ancient boundary between Norwich and Great Yarmouth. The "Philip & Mary" reference is to Queen "Bloody" Mary Tudor and her husband the King of Spain. (Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition at Loddon!)  
 In the aftermath of a recent interview for the Weird Tales Radio Show, the mythographer Martini Fisher commented that the Urban Fantasist website was home to "fun and strangeness". We rather like that turn of phrase and from now on that shall be our official motto – Fun and Strangeness start here.
One of our visitors said he thought this was the best theme song to a sci-fi movie ever – and we're inclined to agree with him.

Fun & StrangenessUrban Fantasist is here to inform and entertain you with tales of pop culture, geek, folklore, urban myths, and the weird. "Fun and strangeness" is how one reader describes it.
Hosted by Reuters correspondent and barrister turned writer, podcaster, radio DJ, award-winning tech journalist and werewolf hunter Charles Christian. The site also has links to Charles Christian's books including fiction, nonfiction and latest reviews, as well as his Weird Tales and Smart Radio shows. The Latest Podcast
In Episode 68 of the Weird Tales Radio Show: we learn the significance of Litha/Midsummer to Wiccans & Pagans from Naomi of Inanna’s in Norwich; before heading to the Great Yarmouth Comic Con to talk to members of the cast of some of the hottest fantasy & sci-fi TV and movie franchises of recent years including Clive Russell (Game of Thrones), Chris Rankin (Harry Potter) & Ross Mullan (GoT & Doctor Who); and we end with the cryptozoologist who believes the Loch Ness Monster and Sasquatch don’t exist – because if they did, someone would have photographed them by now.

Urban Fantasist is fuelled by green tea, dark chocolate and sarcasm
