Today I took time out to visit the Desire Exhibition at the Kensington Exhibition Centre. There were many beautiful displays, several worthy of Goldsmiths Hall, but the civic centre, up a quiet road from the High Street with few signs to direct you, proved less than inviting.

On a miserable morning with driving rain and being greeted by decidedly unfriendly staff in a large and confusing municipal building would do much to cool the desire of prospective buyers. Despite this I hope the exhibitors will have a successful weekend, but I feel they deserved better. Dennis.
