E
verything seems better
in the summer. Not
much can spoil it. Not
even mowing the lawn while in
the grip of raging hayfever and
its constant twitch and snuffl e;
nor the stifl ing Tube journeys and their hot
morass of assorted armpits. No. It is all about
long days, warm nights and whatever fun you
can fi nd. And there is plenty of fun to be had in
Ealing this summer, whatever your age.

How is this for starters? Ealing Summer
Festivals, cycling events, holiday activities at
leisure centres and libraries, Hanwell Zoo, our
parks, adult learning courses where you can pick
up anything from a new language to a penchant
for pottery; and there will be lots more besides.
16
That is not all we look at in this edition,
however; and there is also a new feature called
‘before you go’ on p30 – this time it is about
local walks and outdoor exercise.
Look out for the next edition in September.
