Late breaking news
This week's Gazette is a bumper edition - the most news pages we have had this year.
It meant a fairly frantic Tuesday because of the number of pages we had to do on deadline day and it really was all hands to the pump.
With everything finished just slightly behind schedule and the pages on their way to the printers we breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Our peace was quickly shattered when the verdict on the Helen Chung murder trial came through late in the afternoon.
A quick phone call and we were re-making the front page to get the verdict in and also posting the story on the website.
You always get a real buzz when you get late breaking news and it was good to be able to get something about the vicious murder of popular Yiewsley restaurateur Mrs Chung on to the front page of the main Uxbridge edition.
Coupled with the verdict on the evil killer Levi Bellfield - which we have covered in detail and got a good exclusive angle - it's been a particularly busy news week.
On a lighter note we have three pages of Mother's Day messages from local school children across the borough and they really fo make a superb feature with some fantastic and amusing drawings from the young kids.
