Mare Street, 2nd June 2012

Wandering round an unfamiliar area on my way to the Field Day festival in a nearby park, I spotted this caged behind railings just off the bustling street. It was certainly safer there.

York Bridge, 30th May 2012

It was one of the few sunny days in a very wet spring, so I was walking home in an attempt to feel summeryer. As I entered Regent's Park I saw this in the middle of the road, and nipped out to check if it was still inflated. My gentle toe prod knocked it into the gutter, which at least allowed me to snap it from the safety of the pavement, and get the sunlit Regency buildings in the background. There's been a few gutter balloons recently, which is heartening. A few more days like this would be very welcome too...

Gaisford Street, 19th May 2012

It was  a day of sport, curled up on the sofa after an inexplicable bout of illness. The sport, at least, provided welcome relief. I popped out to pick up a very fine curry, and saw this sat limp in the gutter. It hadn't moved by the time I returned with my bounty.

High Holborn, 1st May 2012

On a sunny wander unusually eastward I came across this on a busy afternoon street. It rolled and bounced past the ambulance until a small boy kicked it once before popping it in front of me.

So I'm a bit overdue on uploads... this was now so long ago I scarcely remember it, but fortunately the street sign gives a subtle clue... It looks like a Domino's Pizza balloon, although where the nearest one to here is I don't know...
