printed publication in this age of digital content, social media and AI, and it proves to me that we all still place huge value on tangible, physical, human-created publications – made to hold, savour and, dare I say for some of us, smell!

trawl through the archives for some of the standout moments – and what a journey through time it was! Turn to page 8 for a healthy dose of nostalgia; I wonder how many points along our timeline you will remember – and which others you’d add to the list? Do tag us in your own memories from the past 15 years on social media too: we’d love to see them. After all, the reason this magazine still exists is because of you, our readers, who have picked up, clicked on, read, utilised and supported Cambridge Edition since 2011. The whole team are so very grateful to each and every one of you. Whether you’re a print or digital lover, past, present or soon-to-be resident, regular reader or dipper-inner, we hope you have enjoyed and found the magazine useful for all this time. Here’s to many more years of ‘local living done well’!
