What a month. We’ve tried to keep things as normal as possible, despite everything going on in the world right now, and we want this issue to be an escape from ‘that’ virus rather than an amplification of it. In fact, after this page, you won’t find any mention of it until the very last editorial on Tailpiece. Will things change for us? A little. For one, we won’t be able to get out and review any stores for a while. Perhaps fitting, then, that we leave on a high, with a trip to possibly the best store in the UK on page 70.

For us at the mag, life goes on as usual. The printers are still running, and we’re well equipped to work from home. Heck, most of my day job involves tinkering with fish tanks, talking to fish experts online, and reading fishy literature anyway. Now I just get to do it without the distractions of an office. Stay safe, folks!
