Londoners know smallest galleries hold best exhibitions. Visited @peltzgallery to see Cursed Objects In Museum Shops. Spot Merch from @museumofneolib which I referenced in my #RSA essay & Henry Cole's @V_and_A cafe who was also a Fellow

I've written a new Substack post about the Meditteranean instinct to throw delightful, all-ages, free community parties all year round (festa majors, carnavals, etc), and asking Why We Can't Have Nice Things like this in Britain?? danhancox.substack.com/p/par…
