I was recently asked to proof read an interview I had given about my contribution to
Cambridge Open Studios thirty five years ago, for a book that is being written about it's history.
I was horrified to see that I mentioned I had invited Princess Margaret to open my first exhibition. Understandably, she turned me down owning to a 'prior engagement'.
What was missing from the text was why I had invited her. I was collecting for Save The Children Fund and the Princess was the charity's patron.
When you know that, it doesn't sound quite so bad.
