The Wedding Present: Blackbird Leys Park, Oxford

THE SENSE of community, the sense of belonging, kids all clasped together under one benevolent corporate banner — no wonder festivals didn't dry up and disintegrate overnight. There are kids present today shaking, pushing, leaping at the makeshift barriers as if they are all that stands between them and the stars — happy faces, smiling faces, faces picking up worms to prevent them from being crushed underfoot, faces upon faces adorned with Wedding Present paraphernalia. This is a "Fun Day" out in the most picturesque of University Towns and no one would want to miss a chance.
