EDITORIAL Welcome to our Spring Issue which, with any luck, you will be reading with the sun streaming through the window. This is the time of year when the village should start looking it's best so, with everyones co-operation to keep our surroundings tidy, and with the appearance of all those daffodils which were planted at Gillie Cozens' instigation last year, we should have a village to be proud of. Change certainly seem to be in the air.  Having lost our flower shop and the John Barleycorn, our spies tell us that Conifers is up for sale !!  May we take this opportunity to wish Pam and David a quick sale and every success and happiness for the future wherever they finally settle.  They'll be missed. On the other hand we seem to be gaining on the housing front with the Catharine Hall Farm development, the new houses in Brook Lane and the flats and bungalows in Silverdale Close.  Let's hope that we don't continue to expand and finish up as a suburb of Cambridge !!! Crime continues to show it's ugly head and, although comparatively minor in our area, the item regarding the Neighbourhood Watch Scheme should be taken seriously.  Please respond to Rosemary Darling's request. (Page  ) You may recall that we have referred to the possibility of introducing some black and white photographs to provide added interest.  We are now able to do this and would be pleased if we could borrow any old scenes of Coton in past years which would be of interest to our readers.  How about our contributors including some illustrations for their articles ?  For example school activities such as May Day, and school plays.  Nature shots of birds and other local wildlife could also be of interest.  Black and white copies of coloured prints can be included but  may be tonally less accurate.  All will be handled with care and returned after copying. May we wish you a very happy Easter. The Editorial Team.
