H Editor’s letter
ow quickly things can change. 11 days ago, I became a father for the first time (I have stepchil-
dren whom I adore, but this is my first child in the traditional sense). People joke with you, ‘Say goodbye to sleep!’ That’s okay, I work in publishing; I know what going without sleep feels like. But they would also say, isn’t it exciting? and I’d say no, not really, because I had no frame of refer- ence to compare our impending arrival to. I’d never done it before, so I just worked towards the delivery date and waited to see what would happen. And what happened? My partner Fern blossomed before my eyes in a show of strength and love I could not previously have even imagined. A new life, our son Joseph, arrived in the world with brand new ears and eyes, and our lives changed forever, for the better. So if you see me in Macau and I seem tired, that’s why; but it’s a very, very happy tired.
Enough of my burble. I hope you enjoy the issue. Feedback, as ever, to… Jon Bruford, Managing Editor
