Shocking picture
Apologies for the lack of postings this week - everytime I have got down to writing one something else has cropped up which needed my attention.
Yes, it's been one of those weeks with lots of meetings taking up large chunks of the day.
However, I have to say that I was particularly pleased with this week's edition of the Gazette, which was one of the strongest we have put out for many weeks.
There was some debate as to whether we should use the shocking picture of a battered grandfather on the front page of the Hayes edition.
It is a shocking picture but was supplied to us by the family and I had little hesitation in running it to highlight a particularly brutal crime.
In a way that's old news now as we are well ahead with next week's edition of the Gazette which will feature all the finalists for our Local Heroes Awards gala evening on January 31. I am already looking forward to what is one of the highlights of the year for us.
The meeting theme continues today when my fellow editors from West London and Bucks will be joining me at Gazette House for our monthly meeting.
This will be followed by lunch with Michelle Moffitt, the marketing manager at the Chimes Shopping Centre in Uxbridge who is always good company and full of energy and ideas on how we can work together with the centre.
I have to say I am looking forward to the weekend when I will be going to Scotland to see my newly born grandson and wet the baby's head with my son.
