The bank near Abingdon Weir is quite soft and has subsided after floods earlier in the winter. There has been some patching of the path, and barriers have recently been added.

England had the driest February since 1993 and so water levels are down to safe boating levels.

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.
