Landan

A little bit later in June Sacha and I found out about a comic and arts fair that was being held in London and after a bit of investigating into Megabus charges and where we could stay we were booked and heading off on a 5.30am coach to the capital. Our plan for the day was get to London, find the comic fair, then go stay the night with Sacha's uncles who live in London, then sight see a bit the following day before getting back on the megabus. It sort of went to plan? We struggled to find the comic fair for an hour or so but we eventually got there and met Gemma Correll aaah! We were so excited we didn't even know what to say to her. The fair wasn't quite what we were expecting and I think it was a lot more successful than the organisers anticipated as it was super busy and we couldn't get anywhere near any of the talks but it was still fun.

We then went and spent the night at Sacha's uncle's house and it was amazing. They are genuinely 2 of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and their 2 dogs (poor Heidi has now lost a battle with cancer :() were absolutely adorable. We had some lovely food and sat outside in the garden and talked for hours and then finally after a very hectic day (4am-12pm) went to bed and had a lovely sleep. 

The next day we went to the Disney offices(!!!) where Sacha's uncle Frazer works and had breakfast, it was so lovely to be so included and to be taken there, I felt really privileged.






We also visited the Natural History Museum, one of my favourite places ever ever ever. We spent around 4 hours in there and it was so much fun. After this we got some food and made our way back to the Megabus for the long journey home. Each way it took about 6 and a half hours i think it was? Maybe more?
