Welcome to a bumper spring edition of Littleport Life and thank you as always to everyone who contributed items and helped to distribute the magazine.

The Littleport Community Magazine Group held its AGM in January and it is a pleasure to be able to report that some of our readers attended. A good meeting was held with positive feedback received and ideas for improvement discussed.

We have received several compliments on our previous (December) issue which was printed in full colour. Colour throughout the magazine is a huge step forward in the magazine’s development and the team has decided to continue to print in full colour for as long as funds allow.

In this issue anticipation of spring is a common theme - hardly surprising given the seemingly endless winter we have endured. On page 10 Jane Frost offers an insight into the pleasure of planning for a new season in the garden. The Cambridge University Botanic Garden (P7) shows us how to recognise and appreciate the new growth on the trees all around us. And for younger readers who are looking forward to Easter, why not have a go at our Easter egg hunt? Happy reading!
