Dana's Note
Hello lovely readers,
If you're standing in line to see the Picasso exhibition, or busy buying red and white face paint in preparation for the Cup, don't forget there's still plenty of culture here and we wouldn't want you to miss a drop of it. It's not just the wafer thin mint at the end of the meal either- so don't miss any of it.
Yours, Dana.
