Christmas Eve Shopping/Activities Act at Ealing Town Centre
Tesco open till seven.Crispins Wine Bar (where real film people and real Ealing people go) is open 'till late (opposite Pitzhanger Manor down fromt the Oxfam bookshop).St Mary's Church (350 yards to the south of Crispin's has midnight communion at 11:30 (23:30). St. Mary's tends to be pretty ecumenical so Christian denominations other than Anglican are also welcome.Ealing Abbey (Roman Catholic) 350 yards in opposite direction from Crispins of the top of Eaton Rise north of Haven Green starts to function at 11.00pm with Matins Morning Prayer of Christmas Dayled by the Monastic Community with Carols at 11.30pm with the Ealing Abbey Choir followed by Midnight Mass 12.00/midnight. This huge church is usually packed by 11:00pm so if you want to sit down get there at 10:00!!!For those of you who need some some minute shopping tonight Tesco in the shopping centre closes its doors at 7.00 pm (19:00). Do not go past Ealing Broadway Station by car as there is a burst watermain which is slowing things up somewhat. The burst main was flooding the road yesterday and Thames Water deined to attend this afternoon!. The main is quite a large, definitely six inches diameter if not seven or eight. One wonders which Thames Water did not do anything sooner as if this had gone completely it would have washed out quite a few shops if not the railway station itself. The leak appears to be in a welded joint between two pipe sections.Happy Christmas!Maggie.
