Summer Exhibition - and a Kiwi debate...

On Saturday I met up Daphne, Pete, Olivia and Steve to go the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy. We had been reliably informed by another friend that there was a portrait of Daphne there so we thought that was of an excuse to go!

The exhibition is enormous - not over space, but just so many pictures, prints, photos crammed on all of the walls - it was hard to take them all in. We did find the print of Daphne - by Julian Opie - and we did all agree that it looked like her. If we'd had a spare £5,000 we could have bought a copy of it as well :-).

Prior to going to the exhibition we had all made a wee pilgramage to Kiwifruits and stocked up on some essential NZ items - including a multipack of Twisties, Rashuns and Cheezels. Which kicked off a debate on which item is the top snack of choice. My vote is always for Twisties although there was some dissension in the ranks on that. I think 2 year old Olivia had the best approach - eat them all happily while sharing them around (sometimes forcibly as she didn't seem to want to take no for an answer on the odd occasion!) with all of the adults - bless!
