To say I have not lived and breathed all I have seen is an understatement.

MI!MS is at last up and running at full throttle. The show is a dream and an absolute must for everyone to see.

We gave a fabulous lunch for Andy and his friends. It was lovely to see his support including Clarrie Wallis, who gave Andy his first big break with his knitted boulder for Art Now at the Tate and Caroline Douglas, Director of Contemporary Arts Society. Andy could also finally relax with his fantastic father Peter Holden, an MBE and top Ornithologist!

Then it was on to the evening opening which was a great success and even had an Andy lookalike in the form of Rob Tufnell making appearance. Although with so many mistaking him for Andy, Rob soon made a swift exit. They look more alike than Stuart Shave and Jake Miller!
