Off Queen Street, Oxford, 19th April 2009


And I wasn't even that surprised to see a second a few minutes later. Some days just have such a public feeling of bonhomie and celebration that balloons are inevitable, and few things bring out public joy in England than a sunny spring day.

More surprising is that this street, this square indeed, isn't marked on Google Maps. I don't know Oxford well so I don't know the name of the square, but I know where it was on a map, and if you have a look at the map you'll see the area has no name, and that even streetview shows a building site. A new square then. Its makers would be happy I'm sure, as it was bustling and cheery.
