Yesterday afternoon, I walked to Hair EQ up in Notting Hill Gate, where Tareq has tamed the mane for many years, for a blow-dry before an event at the National Gallery then another thing ie the launch of the Friends of Afghan Women Network (FAWN) in the House of Commons, co-launched by a fizzy former editor of the Evening Standard, Sarah Sands.
OK, the subject of today’s column may seem trivial compared to the treasures housed in our great galleries in Trafalgar Square, and the total erasure of Afghan women since the Taliban takeover — but bear with me.
