At Coffee 7, Forest Gate ...

I'm sitting in Coffee 7, Forest Gate, about to eat a slice of lemon and poppy seed cake - through the steamed up window, I see Saif's Hairdressers and Soul Trim Barbers - 

Upstairs there are Yoga Flow classes - there are startling paintings of musicians and starlets on the walls - 

A waitress is saying we've got Abigail in - 

We've just walked across Wanstead Flats - 

Invisible footballers were still playing on the many football pitches - a dog walker zipped up his blue cagoule - 

In the distance, I could see a cluster of pristine towers - 

Nearly bare trees lined roads of quiet terraced villas - the pavements were strewn with wet leaves -
