As another MCM London Comic Con draws to a close for 2017, this one was definitely an eventful one. With many different photoshoots arranged throughout the weekend, the majority of my shoots were arranged for the Saturday so I had less arranged for the Friday and Sunday, due to travelling and wanting to do a little bit of shopping. It was a pretty great, yet long and tiring weekend but it was great to work with old cosplayers as well as new ones. There never seems to be a suffice amount of time to hang out and see everyone, but it was a pleasure to both work and talk with the people that I did manage to see.

This was the first London Comic Con, where there was a recent announcement that ReedPOP will join the MCM family to bring bigger and brighter events to future conventions. I found out that ReedPOP actually manages huge conventions around the world including New York Comic Con, PAX Australia, Twitch Con, Pax East, Pax South, Shanghai Comic Convention and many others. So hopefully great things are to come from future Comic Cons!

I think personally, the next convention I will be attending won’t be until the next MCM London Comic Con in May, as I can’t make every convention, even though that would be nice it’s not ideal in reality. Conventions are fun and all, but they require a lot of organising and they get quite tiring too. I have some other things and events to focus on right now, but I will share my photos when they are finally edited.

  MCM London Comic Con October 2017 As another MCM London Comic Con draws to a close for 2017, this one was definitely an eventful one.

Earlier this month, I ventured to up north to visit the big city of Edinburgh. My dad wanted somewhere to go and this was his choosing. We stayed in the heart of Edinburgh for five days, visiting a few of the local attractions and had a variety of food too.

I had only tried haggis one time ago and this was my second ever time having it. I actually quite liked it. It reminds me of eating stuffing as it has similar texture.

The first place we visited was the Edinburgh Castle. It was quite a busy place, with loads of history to learn of how the castle was used back in day, going all the way back to the 1600’s. It was quite interesting to learn about how things have progressed over the years since the war. It is a beautiful castle on the hill and so many parts of the castle to explore.

During our time in Edinburgh we had also visited the Museum of Scotland. It was such a huge museum where we did not have to pay an admission fee to get in. The museum was divided into seven parts and even getting only half way round, we were pretty tired. There is so much to see, to the extent that it is probably one of the biggest museums I have ever visited.

The following day we visited the Edinburgh Zoo, it was a bit of a underwhelming visit as we were there during the autumn season, we didn’t see the pandas, lions or tigers however this isn’t the fault of the zoo. They still had a fair amount of animals to see, who all seems quite active and happy in their environment.

On the fourth day we visited the HMY Britannia, it was bit more of a trek to get there, however it was a lovely visit. It is known as the Royal yacht Britannia and it was the former yacht of the British monarch – Queen Elizabeth II. This yacht was in service from 1954 to 1997. A big part of the royal family’s history. It was such a beautiful and wonderful ship to see both inside and out which had such lovely decor and interior design.

Overall, it was a nice visit to Edinburgh. Not my favourite of places to visit however part of the issue was visiting at the wrong time of year. Whenever the next time will be, I hope I can visit again to see the other attractions that the city has to offer. I’ve always wanted to experience the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in the summer which I hear is such a delight.

First impressions were that I thought it was going to quite small inside the sanctuary, but in reality it’s like the Tardis, it is bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. I’m glad that me and my fiancé visited this sanctuary when we visited Hunstanton for the day, despite it not being the sunniest of days, we still had a swell time. It’s always intriguing and interesting to see the wide range of aquatic animals housed there, and I also captured some photos of the animals on my phone and my camera. Luckily it wasn’t busy as we visited on a Friday afternoon. Ali, one of the members of staff within the ‘Park Ranger’ Room was quite knowledgeable when it came to advising us on Bearded Dragons which was really nice of him. I would definitely recommend that you visit this Sea Life Centre with almost anyone, whether it’s with your family, friends, children, even with your other half too.

MCM London Comic Con (May 2017) - Review

MCM London Comic Con (May 2017) – Review

This was the 31st show and there were a total of 130,212 people who attended the convention. All in all I had great time there, and I genuinely felt safe, even with the higher threat level being raised due to Manchester’s unfortunate events on the Monday. Bags were searched at the beginning, before you queued for your wristband, and there were possible random spot checks during the day. It was a…
