Ibolya's Mum left today to return home to Hungary. It's been really lovely having her here and we're both going to miss her being around. But looking forward to her coming back in Februaryand seeing her second grandchild.
We had planned our first night in together for over two weeks (I'd even cancelled Ranos!) but instead we were invited to a launch function, organised by Ibolya's boss's wife, at John Soane's magnificent, Dulwich Picture Gallery. I hadn't been for many years so it was a very good excuse to see this fantastic building again and it's great Pousins.
The event was the opening of an exhibition of drawings and prints, by well known people, to raise money for the House of Illustration project. The theme of each work was 'What Are You Like' and each person was asked to illustrate all the things they like.
Some of the contributors included Andrew Marr, Quentin Blake, David Shrigley, Sara Fanelli and Peter Blake.
But what made me happiest about the evening (and made the long journey so worthwhile), was shaking hands with one of my all time musical heroes and absolute Godlike genius, Brian Eno.
I was completely tong tied and just about manged to say 'pleasure to meet you'.
