PETER COOK
the editor

Peace on earth and goodwill towards all men; the very spirit of Christmas, rings a little hollow in these turbulent times. Yet looking back over the years, this country has faced many similar difficult challenges and emerged blooded but unbowed.
Similar predicaments now face out political masters as we enter a new year beset with financial burdens in an unstable world. It is a huge responsibility that we place on governments, demanding as we do solutions to often intractable problems.
There is little doubt 2012 is going to be a difficult year and in the bleak mid winter there is very little to cheer our spirits, but Spring is on the horizon and with the first shoots of snowdrops and daffodils making an appearance, (and the Boro showing interesting form), perhaps our list of new year hopes and resolutions should include a degree of optimism.
To all our readers and advertisers we at Now&Then wish you the very best for the New Year.
