I find myself doing some unexpected things.   Today I boarded an early train to Bicester Village with a group of instantly identifiable fashion journalists to an event to celebrate a pop-up version of our Keeper’s House.   The hope is that all those wealthy shoppers from China and the Home Counties will buy a print by Grayson Perry and join the RA friends.   En route, I was asked by one of the journalists why I was dressed for Henley.
