Issue 45; Editorial, 9th May 2022

Better late than never is what I have never said but I feel that it comes into play here, unless you were quite happy not to see my written words before you eyes, surely this is not the case.  I am going with the fact you are very happy for Issue 45 to be published on this day of May.

Spring is truly here and we are getting a glimpse of that summer sun around the corner, so with this being the changing of the seasons, comes the changing of the wardrobe and of a few others things as we go from cold to warmth outside.  This issue is mostly leaning on the fashion side of things, with my thoughts on bespoke on two occasions this year, one not so summery and also kicking up a stink about, well, stink.

Enjoy the issue and enjoy your Spring and early Summer.
