Tree-mendous Christmas in Uxbridge
My blog is back and thanks to the hundreds (well maybe one or two) who had noticed it had gone.
A call from a colleague asking if I was ok has prompted me back in to action.
It's easy to get out of the habit. A spell in hospital and then a period of recovery meant that the regular updates fell away.
Now back to full health the last few weeks have been fairly busy trying to catch up on things and plan ahead for the busy Christmas period.
This week's Gazette should now on its way to the printers and already is has a distinctly festive feel to it.
It looks like Uxbridge town centre is going to have a Christmas tree after all. When the town's lights were recently switched on there was dismay that the traditional Christmas tree was missing.
There were rumours of a row over its position in the town centre but, after a series of calls from the Gazette the council have announced that a Christmas tree will be put up in the centre of Uxbridge this week, and the lights will be officially turned on next week.
Our Christmas toy appeal in conjunction with Chimes shopping centre is proving a great success and already the Gazette offices are resembling Santa's grotto.
My biggest concern is where we are going to store all the toys if they continue to flood in before they are distributed across the borough in time for Christmas Day.
However, please keep the toys coming in either to our offices in Bakers Road or the Chimes Shopping Centre in Uxbridge.
