Last weekend was MCM Birmingham Comic Con!!! Andrea and I got press passes (woo!) so go. This is only the second comic con I have ever been to, the other being New York Comic Con.

 So this was my first Bonfire Night....Guy Faulks Day.....whatever you want to call it, in England! One thing that is really different from in the US is that people are allowed to fire off fireworks without a permit as long as it is on their own property!

Last weekend I went on a weekend trip to the Lake District to go hiking! It was quite the experience! We got stuck in so much traffic on the way there, what should have been a three hour drive turned into a five hour one! On top of that we got lost and ended up driving down a
