Those who follow chief reporter Caron Kemp's blog will know she gave birth to a gorgeous baby boy on Sunday. Well, Caron's tiny baby, who came to the newsroom for a surprise visit this morning, was not the only new face in the office today.

Club rules
Posted on 2:37pm Thursday 30th October 2008
Brookside Boys’ Club had a packed Annual General Meeting last week. A lot of the time money for good causes such as this is not enough in terms of encouragement for the volunteers who run the place. Support is what is required to help the club flourish.

Questions, questions, questions
Posted on 10:09am Friday 26th September 2008
I hate being asked questions. People who stop me in the street for some kind of random survey always get a woeful look as I shuffle away quickly with my head down.

The boys are back in town
Posted on 9:30am Friday 19th September 2008
It was good news indeed this week that the Brookside Boys Club in Borehamwood got long term funding to run the club. It is a wonderful place for children to socialise, play sports and generally keep out of trouble. A sad aspect is that its founder Henry Redman didn't get to see his beloved club secured for the next three years.

How to keep a little community spirit
Posted on 9:50am Friday 22nd August 2008
Community spirit is something that is taken for granted.

They may just know the person by face but everyday familiarities are mandatory.

Rats, mice, ants, wasps and cockroaches. If you had to share a hospital bed with one of these which would it be?

Don't close our post office
Posted on 8:30am Thursday 24th July 2008
When the official announcement first reached the Borehamwood & Elstree Times about the potential closure of Elstree post office my reaction was one of utter disbelief. I had in my mind already earmarked either Radlett or Shenley as places that would be targeted by the Government cull on this vital community service.

Dearest reader, the time has come for us to go our separate ways — today is my final day at the newspaper and this, try not to all cry at once, will be my final blog.

I remember from the age of about six years old I used to be taken to the local post office by my dad.

How hard is it to ride a bike?
Posted on 4:58pm Thursday 19th June 2008
I rode a bicycle for the first time in two years last week. My friend is off to France in a month to take part in a race to raise money for a cancer charity.
