I write for my local paper in East Finchley.
It’s called The Archer (after
the iconic statue on the Tube station) and it’s delivered to around 9,500
households in London N2. It’s non-political and is run entirely on a volunteer
basis. I’ve been reporting for them for over a year now, and in that time I’ve
interviewed the executive producer of Embarrassing Bodies (he lives in
East Finchley), the manager of our local greengrocer’s (they’ve been going for
forty years), written several articles about birdwatching in the local area and
even done a match report of how the cricket team I play for, N2 CC, did in the
Mill Hill Sixes. Being a volunteer journalist, I have rediscovered, is a lot of
fun – much more fun than my real job!
Anyway, I have three articles in this
month’s edition on subjects as diverse as a recent council by-election, a
brass band raising money for charity and a watch shop that sadly closed down
thanks to Barnet Council’s
outrageous CPZ charges. Plus, one of Allison’s recipes has been published.
Believe me, it’s a good one.
