The Bishop of Exeter, the Rt. Rev'd Dr Mike Harrison, shares a Christmas message after asking shoppers in the city what brings them joy at this time of year
-
"(WHAT brings you joy at Christmas?" was the question I asked for our vox pops Christmas video filmed out and about among the Christmas shoppers on the streets of Exeter recently.
Answers focused on family and friends, giving and receiving, time in nature and human community. And for me, the best Christmases have been those which are about the good company we enjoy, the laughter, the sharing together of good food and time to savour all this - whatever the wider situation.

What exactly do we mean by a 'new year' anyway?
A HAPPY new year to all our readers, or a good many of them, at least; Cornwall's far from being the most culturally and ethnically diverse part of the UK but even here there's a good chance not all those who take this newspaper observe the Christian calendar, and more particularly that which was enforced on most of Europe by an edict of Pope Gregory the 13th in October 1582 (but not adopted in Great Britain until 1752).
