fter Cambridge Edition ’s three issue- long hiatus, I can honestly say that I’ve never been happier to sit down and write my editor’s letter! The past few months have given us all much to think about and plenty of time to reflect on what’s important to us, whether that’s our appreciation for family and friends

Elsewhere in the issue, we’ve got some fun ideas for family days out (page 15), a trio of tasty picnic recipes from iconic local bakery Fitzbillies (page 40), a round- up of the city’s top alfresco dining spots (page 32), and news of
