On the grass
I went to Trafalgar Square in my lunch hour yesterday. They'd turfed it over for two days, as a publicity drive for "London's villages". I wanted to see what it was like.
It was really good. The weather was sunny, which helped, and there was a great atmosphere - people had organised picnics with friends and colleagues, or just come on their own to sit with a book or walk on the grass. The fountains looked much nicer set in green lawns than their usual flagstones, although the grass nearest them was starting to get rather squelchy.
Here's a picture I took of the happy Londoners in their temporary green space.
