Inspiration

Brilliant Grayson

May 28, 2012 Ben

At very busy times with a lot of people trying to read the blog, it can take a while for images to load – they can remain grey. If this occurs, please try again later or make sure you are on a very fast broadband connection! Apologies if this is happening today.

Don’t you love the cover of the new Royal Academy magazine by Grayson Perry? A wry and gentle commentary on the demographic, tastes and products of the RA’s Summer Exhibition visitor… be honest, is this not rather painfully true?! Of course just as we love to shop at Waitrose, use Farrow & Ball, pack my bags in Mulberry and cook with Le Creuset, I’m very much looking forward to visiting this week… The only thing I hate is the Proms, oh dear, I am sure I can be persuaded…!
