Meanwhile Here are The Gays at Gay Pride

30th June 2013

I’m so behind, what with my breakdown and a massive bouquet of engagements. Lord Arrowby’s party was on Friday; there’s the Multis’ new country home to be revealed, our visit to Sissinghurst, a multitude of other gardens, Glyndebourniana, Eddie Sedgewick’s studio show (Ronnie Ronnie present).

Meanwhile, here are some Gays at Gay Pride. Aren’t they marvellous?

Today Bruce MacBain dropped by on his way to a Hackney function. He viewed my new old rose carpet. I was in dread he would wither – but he didn’t. I said, ‘It needs to fade a little. It looks too new.’ We agreed that improvements to the home first of all look too new, then they look too old. There’s probably one point on a particular day, which you may or may not be there to witness, of absolute perfection. It’s like a pear which is only at a ideal stage of ripeness for five minutes at most.

Then Val came round for a fitting – he’s doing a wing armchair in Kendal Blue from Lewis and Wood. We are of the same mind that we don’t like buses with three numbers except for the 159. Val waited for 40 minutes for a 98 outside the Kensington Hilton before realising that that bus has gone off-piste because of the upheaval to the water main at Notting Hill. Today I saw a 21 in entirely the wrong place.

I knew there was something I’d forgotten – THE SALES! There’re as good as over. Nothing left. But a goodly choice of Balenciaga at Harrods. I got a little grey cardy reduced from £450. Can’t remember what to. V. little. I now crave a white non-jean slack, some summer shirts and some dark shirts. But really could wait until the Prada factory shop.

Only six weeks to Tuscany.
