A Day Out at Rochester Castle

Dann and Kai are big fans of exploring castle! Last year, we had gone on a bunch of English Heritage sites, but we had not yet explored Rochester Castle.

A Day Out at Battersea Light Festival 2023

We are huge fans of light festivals in our home, so when we heard about the free to attend Battersea Light Festival, we had to go!

A Day Out at Rebus: A Game Called Malice at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

[Ad- gifted experience] Featuring John Rebus, a retired detective from Ian Rankin’s detective novels, Rebus: A Game Called Malice brings him to the stage, showcasing something beyond the previously written books and bringing a story to a different medium. This performance is sort of a murder mystery, but at the same time, the characters are also trying to solve a murder mystery at the end of an evening dinner.
