London, and London in Florence
I took a west end gallery tour - at Thaddaeus Ropac was a super show by Ron Mueck I loved his oversized bronze dogs. They were intimidating and scary

Then home and we hosted a very special lunch for JR and Rachel Williams - celebrating Perrotin's London debut - lovely to be around such positivity - Rachel, myself and Peggy Lebeouf ‘she is back - hooray!’
