Editor Louise introduces you to the April edition of the Tandridge Independent.

Editor Louise D'Costa is delighted to welcome you to the March (and first!) edition of the Tandridge Independent.

It feels like such a long time since I last wrote to you, and I suppose it is, really. My team and I made the big decision at the beginning of December not to publish a paper in January: it had been a long and hectic year and we decided that we needed to take the pressure off for a while. But now we are back!

Well, we have made it through another year! Are you finding it hard to believe that 2021 is almost over? It is even harder for me to believe that my team and I have just celebrated two years at the helm. I bought the paper, and took over as editor, in December 2019, knowing that the first 24 months of any new business can be really tricky, but without any idea of what 2020 was going to throw at us!

Welcome to the November edition of the Caterham Independent. Are you an early planner, or a leave-it-til-the-last-moment kind of Christmas shopper? After talking to lots of friends and colleagues, I think people are fairly evenly split between the two. I am sure that some of you have already got your gifts wrapped, and have ordered your turkey, while the rest of you are even refusing to think about all that until at least halfway through November.
