I have no idea how many times I had walked down Museum Street and never noticed that one of the York stones had been signed by Peter Blake….

Last night my friend Viv Schwarz had a launch party with Alexis Deacon to celebrate their new children's book A Place To Call Home. They had the party….

Fans of light trickery and abstract imagery should visit this exhibition before it ends on March 27th (and hope when they get there that it's not too crowded)…..
