This week
All in all it's been quite a week at Gazette House and I am glad it's Friday afternoon and the weekend is not far away.
On Monday we had a visit from Sly Bailey the chief executive of our parent company Trinity Mirror plc.
Hence my previous comments about cleaning up the newsroom for a special visitor. The trick now is to keep it tidy and prevent the mountain of cereal boxes buildimg up again by a certain reporter's desk.
Other things going on this week have seen the lanuch of our new online buy a photograph site. You can now purchase any picture which appears in the Gazette or Leader online by simply going to http://www.uxbridgegazette.co.uk/buyaphoto
While on the subjects of websites our colleague at the Harrow Observer have this week re-launched their site and it's well worth a look at http://www.harrowobserver.co.uk
The benefit of the website was once again to the fore on Wednesday when we had a number of big breaking news stories across the borough - and all too late for the Gazette which was already out on the streets.
We were able to follow these stories closely on the website to ensure that readers got all the latest news and we will also be expanding on them in this week's paper, which is already shaping up nicely with a strong looking newslist.
I will shortly be heading down the M25 and looking forward to a relaxing start to the weekend with an evening out in a country pub with a friend.
Have a good weekend.
