Moving the Clunns

It is now certain:

I will not be able to attend DiaCon Alley.

Plan A

was to leave Missy Clunn with my parents and  hope against all odds that my husband would be able to find his own food for a week or so while I gallivant about England.

Now that there is not only Missy Clunn but also Baby Clunn to account for,

Plan B

was to take the family with me and stash them away in a B&B somewhere in Canterbury while I fangirl my little heart out.

BUT somebody *glares at Lordofclunn* made a blunder with his (not changable) ticket reservations to visit his family, which led to

Plan C,

which is for me to stay in Berlin with the offspring while he is away visiting his family.

Completely incensed, I devised

Plan D,

which will be executed. Or else.

Next year, probably during the summer holidays, I want to board The Hogwarts Express
Yes.

It runs from Fort William to Mallaig in Scotland and is said to be among the most scenic train routes in the world!

Since Tania is the only one in the family likely to share my enthusiasm, I thought this might be one of those things best done in groups.

Who would like to come along?

I haven't got round to pimping this properly, so people, here it is:

DiaCon Alley, the ultimate Harry Potter conference in Canterbury.

That's in England!

And yes, it is conveniently reachable by public transport from London.

Yes, it is very affordable. I doubt that you could find three nights B&B accommodation with an en suite bathroom and breakfast for £ 111 anywhere else in Canterbury.

Besides, the town is breathtakingly beautiful (and you have time to read Ken Follet's 'Pillars of the Earth' before you go!) and there will be a private DH2 screening and a ball and *bites lip* costumes and loads of people who are just as crazy about fandom as you are.

In short: there is really no excuse to put off that European vacation you've been thinking about any longer!

(diacon_alley  mods, in my excitement and haste I couldn't find any pimping material, so I kind of er, stole the above. Hope that's okay. If not, give me a shout!)
