The international guests were in Bowness by Thursday, the day before the festival began. They were cordially invited to come on a leisurely cruise on Lake Windermere. We had the pleasure of joining them. It was a perfect evening. The following afternoon we took one of the guests, Craig Thompson, out for lunch and a bit of sightseeing, along with two mutual friends, Dave Scroggy and Rosemary Thornton. Here we are at the Mason’s Arms and Cartmel Fell Church, two of the locations in Bryan’s beautiful Tale of One Bad Rat.
We were mostly in the Comics Marketplace, however, where our son Robyn joined us for the first time this year, with his own self-published comic, hot from the press. Read all about it here!
