The weekend just gone I took the family off up to Norwich.  It's not a bad drive but it's still a good 3 hour drive, luckily I'm blessed with kids who sleep in the car.

The reason for this trip was two-fold:

1. I was doing my first ever reading of George and the Dragon

2. Norwich has been the host of GoGoDragons. Which is a two month long interactive arts sculpture trail bringing 84 large dragon sculptures and 120 school dragons to the City of Norwich.

I have to confess I was little disappointed with the turn out for the reading.  However I did love the park in which it took place. It's got a fantastic little amphitheater built in to it. Also the owners of the opticians who had arranged the reading had also arranged for an amazing piece of artwork to be included on the wall over-looking the park.




I have to say I was nervous so it's maybe a blessing the audience was small. I'll know what to expect next time.

Before then and for a large part of the weekend we spent time look at all of the dragons on display in the city centre. We didn't get to see all of them but those we did see were fantastic.

Here are some of my personal favorites:















So there you go, even my weekends are taken up with dragons!
