Day out with the animals
This week's Gazette is shaping up nicely - so content editor David Tilley who has taken a few days off need not worry.
I thought David might be heading off to some exotic location for a few days break so I was somewhat shocked when he told me he was going to Colchester Zoo for a day out during his break.
I have to admit I did not even know that Colchester had a zoo but having looked at its website David assured me it had some interesting attractions and looked well worth a visit.
I will be interested to find out how how he enjoyed his day out with the animals when he returns to Gazette House tomorrow morning.
Once again there is no shortage of news around this week and it will be another juggling act trying to fit everything in, especially as we are working on a number of stories that still need developing, so it promises to be a busy day for the newsdesk.
We will also be running a special feature this week on the growing number of cases of obesity in the borough, especially amongst children. This is an issue which has been in the news a lot lately and this area is no exception as poor diet seems to be leading to an explosion of 'fat kids.'

Yes, of course it's got a zoo.
It's also Britain's oldest recorded town, has a fine university, a football team holding their own in the Championship against the odds, and is a mere 20 minutes drive from the glorious Tendring sunshine coast, the UK's sunniest spot.
Essex is great.
