Skating on thin ice
It appears the festive spirit has finally taken over at Gazette House .....
Yesterday afternoon a magician turned up in the office - where he came from I have not got a clue - but there he was performing his tricks to an appreciative audience in the advertising department, who seemed spellbound by his skills.
However, the newsroom failed to conjure up any great enthusiasm for some magic which, was something of a relief, as I did not want the reporters busy working on next week's edition vanishing in a puff of smoke.
The real talk of the newsroom is the opening of the ice rink in Hayes today. This is a really innovative idea by the Hayes Town Centre Partnership and I am sure it will prove highly popular over the next few days - especially as we now have just the weather for skating.
It appears we have some budding skaters amongst the Gazette news team and John Hughill and Chris Berry will be displaying their talents on the ice later today - will be well worth watching!
What slightly concerns me if having survived the magician's attempts to spirit away some of my staff will John and Chris survive the ice fields of Hayes. Watch this space......
