My students and I swapped holiday traditions today. If all goes as planned, I’ll be lighting a wish (written on paper) on fire and drinking the ashes with some bubbly from a champagne glass and they’ll be banging on pots and pans in the street at the stroke of midnight this New Years Eve.

so ive just planned a third trip to the harry potter studios, and y’know you could say that i’m spending a lot of money, but im not actually cause this third trip is free. its like a buy 2 get 1 free sale...

the relief i have after finding out that i dont need a visa to go to england is great
