Happy New Year most respected reader.

We wish you love, peace and happiness for the coming 52 weeks (and longer as needed). We wish you adventure, calm, joy, serenity, laughter and fun for the next 12 months and beyond.

And if, along the way, you think 'this is the sort of thing that should be in The Spark', then let us know: you find an amazing hidden gem in the countryside somewhere; you attend the most inspiring course or fascinating talk, or watch a film or read a book that just seems to explain it all in the most perfect way; you learn something, or discover something, or want to share an everyday tip, or want to ask a question; do it! Please! We like to think that The Spark is part of a community, and that our readers are a bit of a community themselves, so let's share stuff and make the world a better place all round (cheesy I know, but written with sincerity). Email us on editor@thespark.co.uk

In other news.. times they are a changin'.. but just for a while.
Vicki West, our fab Editor, will be leaving us at the end of January to start her maternity leave. She'll also be starting her journey into the world of parenthood, along with her partner Toby. So luck, love and lullabies to them.
While Vicki's away we welcome Bill Heaney to The Spark as our Acting Editor. I'm sure he'll pop along in due course to say hello so I won't spoil any introduction he might want to make, for now I'll just say 'Howdy Bill' and wish him luck, love and lullabies while he's settling in to the team.
