On a sunny July afternoon, I found myself in the heart of Oxford, eagerly awaiting the press preview of The Story Museum ‘s latest exhibition, Here Be Dragons. Co-curated by the celebrated author Cressida Cowell and her fictional dragon, Toothless, this exhibition promised an immersive journey through the enchanting world of dragon lore. As a long-time fan of Cowell’s How To Train Your Dragon series, I couldn’t wait to dive into this mythical adventure.

I had the pleasure of travelling to Rochester from London for the first time this past Sunday, 7th July 2024. Not only did I get to explore this charming town, but I also attended the Uptown Festival, combining a town visit with one of my favourite activities.
Despite some drizzle at the start, the summer sun eventually made an appearance over Rochester Castle. Headlined by UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, the event turned the historic venue into a reggae hub, attracting fans of all ages and backgrounds.
