Is anybody else going to the subscribers' and friends' launch party of The Real Mrs. Miniver by Ysenda Maxtone Graham? It's the latest Slightly Foxed Edition - the series of memoirs that never put a foot wrong - and I'll be going! It would be wonderful to see anybody I knew (or to meet any SIAB-readers I've yet to meet.)
It's 11th March, 6-8pm. More info here...
