CHRISTMAS is a time for peace, goodwill and understanding.

And hopefully that’ll be the case for all during this festive season.

Whatever your background or your faith, it’s a time to share and enjoy the company of family,friends and neighbours.

And off course it’s also a time to thank those who’ve been helpful and played an important role within the workplace too.

I would like to thank all the Ealing Gazette staff who’ve been fantastic through a lot of uncertainty this year.

Despite possible major changes with the company, they stuck to their tasks admirably and produced decent papers. Now the future looks very stable.

I would also like to thank all our contacts and contributors who continue to engage with the Gazette in a friendly and productive way. They’ve also been real stalwarts.

And off course a big thanks to all our readers who continue to robustly provide us with feedback. All the feedback is extremely valued.

We’ve also had a good response to our website and I would like to thanks those who have responded to my blogs – yes Monkey and his mates too – it’s always great to hear from you.

So a big thanks to all.

Merry Christmas to you all and a prosperous New Year.

The festive season has finally arrived in the office.

The decorations are up and there’s chat about the company Christmas party, due to be held at the Masonic Hall, in Hillingdon, tonight.

For one reason or another, most of Ealing editorial staff have decided not to go!

Main reason is the travelling involved and the difficulty in getting home.
They have organised a Christmas meal for next week at a swish tapas restaurant in Ealing Broadway. Unfortunately I’ll not be able to go as I’ve already a prior booking.
However I’m sure I’ll be able to squeeze in a Christmas drink beforehand.

Why does it get so complicated – it happens every year. Anyway, wherever you are, have a great time.

I’ve just ventured into Ealing Broadway shopping centre and the Christmas rush is now well and truly underway.

The queues are massive but so far I’ve managed to dodge the crowds, and I’ll continue do that in the run up to the big day.
