Dear Gemmers It's Friday so I am predisposed towards flippancy but I have just written my latest blog entry in response to a moving story which I felt linked to some other museum and culture-related things in my life. I hope you find it interesting, if somewhat sad. I had a tear in my eye just writing it. https://alacsblog.wordpress.com/ I have also just tweeted it on @_alacs Stay safe, enjoy today because tomorrow you might lose it.....
