The fruit bowl from Siena with four bananas and two 'easy-peelers'. This evening I went to the opening of the Higgins exhibition 'We are Ten', celebrating the last ten years of the gallery and welcoming some wonderful additions to the collection. It was good to meet good, thoughtful people and to discuss the place of the arts in troubled times, and to reflect on the compromises that characterise our existence. Afterwards I went to the allotment and dug at dusk. And shared a drink with a friend. The evening sky was very beautiful. |
