In fact, if you’ve been following me on Instagram, you may have seen that I woke up to snow this morning! Winter truly is here.

Anxiety Guide to Comic Con
I’ve been attending various comic con events throughout the UK (and one in Germany) for the past 11 years now. It’s the perfect way for me to spend time with like-minded people, meet up with friends I don’t see very often, and meet some of the actors and actresses I admire.
