White van and Fado at Covent Garden

Hire a white van to pick up the I Packed This Myself exhibition from Chenderit School, near Banbury. Ready to take down to Cornwall next week. First time I have ever driven a van.













Then later in the day, back in London, am transported back to Cornwall at God's Garden at the Linbury Studio, Convent Garden. Interesting dance and Fado music - but cannot help thinking of Sophie Moura, who performed at the launch of I Packed This Myself in Camborne last March. Sophie, a brilliant Fado singer, is based in St Austell and has supported the project since its early days. She is expecting her second child at any moment. Hope to see her next week in Cornwall.
