Well. Apologies for the lack of comments, but unfortunately the server on which it was hosted had multiple hard drive failure yesterday afternoon.

However the lovely team at Bytemark sorted and fixed it as quickly as possible, and it could have been up and running this morning, if I didn't have to go to work and hadn't had a load of boring package issues.

So there we go.
Thanks Kirk, much appreciated!

On a day devoted to the backside of Leyton, I suspect not that many commenters were disappointed.
Thanks for telling us about the History Trees, I did wonder about the one I saw at the Victoria Gate off the Greenway, it is a nice idea and good to know that will be an entrance to the QE Park. I suppose people will talk of Vicky Park and Lizzy Park in the future.
I wondered about the trees with rings on too (the one I saw was at Eton Manor). I thought maybe somebody was keeping track of them in case they flew south for the winter!

I'm not sure I like the sound of "gates into" and "exits from" the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Only ten gates in a perimeter of several miles is a bit sparse, isn't it? And they are going to take down all that twelve foot razor wire, aren't they?

The pavement further along is still barriered-off...
‘Cause there is no footway linking Eastway and Ruckholt Road on that side. This is due to the temporary junction with the Olympic Park north plaza. You’ll have noticed the pedestrian signals bagged over through the middle of the junction.

Waltham Forest Welcomes You, says the sign by the unnecessary footbridge the council built....
Err, actually funded by the ODA. And necessary to avoid cycle accidents due to the narrowness of the bridge.
