We were discussing the trip to London with our eldest child, who is eight. We told her that we’re going to London to visit two galleries. She said ‘Is that it?’
We looked together at the images for Home Truths on The Photographers’ Gallery website. She asked relevant questions (‘Why has the woman got a dress on but the baby is naked?’). While we were doing this, she had The Royals on her mind. ‘Could we go and see the Queen’s Palace? That’s what I’d really like to do.’ But we can’t. It’s the wrong end of town and we haven’t allowed time for anything beyond the two galleries.
