Off Acre Lane, 7th October 2007

Oh my god, the mother lode! Evidently party survivors, I hadn't noticed them but a friend pointed them out after the front garden one below reminded her of the collection. Protected from street and residents (there are no front gardens at these flats) these could last a while. Even if not, these many-coloured escapes made my day, and it would have been a great day anyway.

Glenelg Road, 7th October 2007

In my own front garden. I initially though it was burst, and thus dead rather than doomed, but a quick squeeze revealed that it was in fact still entire, if almost totally deflated.
