Pitzhanger Manor

Very busy day starting with a zoom with BBC Head of Drama first thing followed by a run of meetings before I had to jump in a car to go to Fareham for a Rapid Antigen test to show I’m negative before travelling tomorrow.  I don’t think I’ve been to Fareham since I was a child but it’s a pretty little town with the most soulless shopping centre in the middle full of shops I thought went out of business years ago and rattlingly empty.  

Then we changed and drove into London to  Pitzhanger Manor in Ealing for a dinner to celebrate the restoration and reopening of the house and the gallery with an exhibition of Julian Opie.  Vik did something to support the fundraising and this was a thank you dinner given by the former Ambassador to Afghanistan. I sat next to someone who is a bit of a legend in television and Civil Servant.  A couple of old friends were there as well as the master of my eldest’s Oxford college who remembered him fondly. 
Got home late.  Food very good.
