It feels as though Spring has finally arrived at the Slightly Foxed office in London. The tulips on the balcony are in full bloom, the sun is shining (occasionally), there’s a spring in our step and even the dogs are more perky than usual, which is just as well as Brian (our man with a van) is preparing to make his quarterly journey from our printers in Yorkshire down to London with a van-load of things to keep us busy. He’s bringing advance copies of the forthcoming Summer issue of Slightly Foxed and 2,000 copies of our tenth Slightly Foxed Edition, Michael Jenkins’s A House in Flanders, his account of summer months spent on the edge of the Flanders Plain. ‘A radiant book,’ wrote Dirk Bogarde in the Daily Telegraph, ‘a whole spectrum of colours and lights, of delights and elegances, of wistfulness and love.’  The perfect summer read, in fact.
