It will be interesting to see how the Duke’s co-working Tuesdays work out. Home-workers, freelancers and students are among those being invited to bring their work to the pub, which is offering the essential elements of powerpoints, wifi, coffee and a friendly neighbour to watch your laptop while you go to the toilet. It’s the sort of venture that Wanstead has needed for some time – the logjam in the library is a familiar frustration (as is the sign on the Churchill Room door that it is NOT a place for studying).
So good luck to the co-workers. Reports on the venture are welcome.
The crowdfunding appeal to raise money for refurbishment of Wanstead’s playground on Christ Church Green has had a number of boosts. Three £500 donations – from Dabora Conway, Martin & Co and Zeeba Daycare – have taken the total to more than £8,000. There are still three weeks left for the campaign to reach its £13,000 goal.
Geese are common enough in some parts round here (Walthamstow can hardly move for them), but not often sighted on Christ Church Green. Pete Daly volunteers this snap and invites those in the know to demystify their strange appearance. A portent perhaps?
