WELCOME
New beginnings I t is my pleasure to welcome you to our first issue of 2024, and my first as deputy editor of Cambridge Edition . As I slowly take the reins of the magazine from my predecessor Nicola, it would be remiss of me not to credit the incredible work that she has done in shaping this magazine over the past 12 years, which I will endeavour to continue into the future. A time of hope and renewal, the new year is full of promise. I never tire of the sense of opportunity it offers – a chance for change no matter how big or small, and to reflect on what has passed as well as what’s still to come. Reminding us all to take pause, we round up some of the wellness trends set to transform your 2024 and the local places you can try them, whether you are contemplating meditation or looking to build resilience through strength training. Channelling virtuous habits into the new year, we take a deep dive into the Veganuary phenomenon and cast our eye on the local clean drinking champion Nøde. In other tales of renewal, we hear the inspiring story of homegrown hero Jonny Huntington’s mission to become the world’s first disabled person to solo ski the South Pole unsupported. We also reflect on the work of local photographer Martin Bond, as the celebrated A Cambridge Diary photo project draws to a close, only to enter a new form in publishing. As always, we bring you the latest happenings from the arts and culture scene and take the temperature of our local education and property sectors with expert insight. Wherever this magazine may find you as we step into 2024, I hope its pages will inspire, inform and encourage you to explore all that this incredible city has to offer.
