It feels like only yesterday that I was at Oxford. Actually, it was! Great day. Went to the Ashmolean for the Francis Bacon/Henry Moore exhibition. Well. I dunno, really. Bit mad and/or pretentious were they? Which is worse? We did like an exhibition by Malcolm Morley, despite the fact that he was the first-ever Turner prize winner. Terrific museum, oldest in the world, I think I’ve read; almost certainly not true. Fantastic markets where we had lunch and bought loads of cheap fruit and veg. And very expensive pasta.

Francis Bacon’s studio. His mum was furious!
