Thank you to those Wansteadium readers who in the past month bought items from Amazon using the box on the side of this site. Each time anyone does that, Amazon gives us a few pence (though you don’t pay any extra), and these have added up to cover half our running costs for the month. So thank you for helping to keep Wansteadium going.
Just in case you’ve missed the election leaflets on your doormat, we’re pleased to bring you, in alphabetical order, scans of the leaflets from four of the five candidates standing in Leyton and Wanstead.* They have been collected by the excellent website ElectionLeaflets.org. You can get the images in greater detail by clicking that link.
*If anyone has a copy of leaflet on behalf of independent candidate Mahtab Aziz, please get in touch with us via wansteadium@gmail.com.

Instagram, Twitter, Flickr – all become a temporary home for some beautiful (but, let’s face it, pretty similar) photographs. Still, let’s indulge each other. Here are some of this weekend’s crop, and you can send links for any of yours, or email us directly at wansteadium@gmail.com, before the bluebells disappear.
