Annington Homes are in the business of refurbishment and re-development for rental or sale of affordable ex-MOD homes. Some of the houses they have on offer at Lamborough Fields, on the edge of Abingdon in Shippon, have been fitted with solar panels and electric vehicle chargers. They have also been refurbished to give them an EPC rating of B to keep the energy bills down.
Thank you to Kyle for the press release.
Thanks to Nick for the flier …
The Abingdon Women’s Rugby team is new this year.
Beginners are very welcome.
The Emphasis is on fun and friendship as well as rugby.
The training is at Abingdon Rugby Club, Lambrick Way, on Wednesdays at 19.00.
Elizabeth told me that the flowerbed outside the library was once a fish pond. That was before digital cameras when we did not waste camera film on street furniture. Has anybody got a picture of the pond, or somebody posing by the pond?
This area of the charter, and outside of Poundland, is very popular with school children after school. There is a security guard outside the library in the early evening to help maintain order in the library. But this afternoon it was not children causing problems but two adults.
BBC News reports ‘England had its driest July since 1935, with parts having the least rainfall on record, the Met Office has said.’
The amount of water flowing over Abingdon Weir is the lowest I have seen. Sedges are taking over upstream from the weir.
Your bathroom taps create more white water than Abingdon Weir. More water is going through Abingdon Lock, as the gates open for boats, than over the weir.
The River Ock flows slowly, and sedges impede more of the stream.
Low river levels are bad for wildlife and agriculture.
