As we are so well connected here, I managed to score an invitation for the boys to a very exclusive gathering in town. Despite the heavy downfalls, we were graced by the presence of the one and only Olivia at Fullers. Her adventures and forays into music and art, often 'practiced' on the walls of her house or on the ears of her patient family, are humourously captured by New Yorker illustrator Ian Falconer and are top of the reading list for those of us 3 to 6 year olds. Her faithful followers include none other than David Hockney and Mikhail Baryshnikov, who says "Many dream of dancing on the stage, but Olivia has the legs for it."
Needless to say, the boys were quite starstruck. I was just worried that her pretty ears were going to swipe half the stock off the shelves!
