Oadby gets a Google Maps update

I've just noticed that Google has updated its aerial photography and that Oadby is now shown in even greater detail. Check this map for a shot of St Paul's, showing a huddle of people on the edge of the pavement between my house and the church. Is this you? Or me? From the angle and length of the shadows, the fact that our old blue car appears, the lawn is as dry as bone and there are few cars down at the schools, it looks to me like an afternoon on late summer's day in 2006. The car parks at Asda and Sainsbury's are strangely quiet too. Curious.
