While in Manchester Heena also took me to see Grayson Perry’s The Vanity of Small Differences exhibition:

and I absolutely loved it. I watched the C4 programmes about it afterwards. I think it was better to do it that way round i.e. to see the tapestries without any preconceptions whatsoever.

I then searched for what else Grayson Perry has done and discovered that he gave the Reith lectures this year. I’ve heard the first three out of four and they’ve been brilliant: witty, thought-provoking and inspiring.
