Caldecott Chase borders Caldecott School, and there looks as though there is a new way through the new development to the school.

On the other side of Caldecott School, another back entrance has been laid from Drayton Road. For a long time this has been an overgrown gap between houses.

These back routes to Caldecott School resulted from the Better Ways to School project. The school put together a travel plan about five years ago, to encourage children to walk or cycle, and this is part of the result. Another earlier result was the wooden fences on the grass verge in front of the school. They were put there because cars often drove over the verge, potentially, into the path of school children.

(Cyclists seen at the Abbey Gateway on Sunday have nothing to do with Caldecott but they are nice and colourful.)

Watching some people it seems like there aint nothing ‘- half as much worth doing as simply messing about in boats’ .

This boat called Four Paws heads upstream to Abingdon Lock.

These two people – not youngsters – can be seen messing around near the weir pools.

This Westie knows everything going on round his little riverbank territory.

A week ago and the pavement outside the new flats on Caldecott Road was impassible.

There is new tar on both sides of Caldecott road from the Drayton Road to Blacknall Road.

A lot of MG cars came to Abingdon Market Place at around 10:30 this morning, and their owners took the opportunity to visit the MG exhibition in the County Hall, before setting off towards the Buckingham Railway Centre at Quainton, near Waddesdon.

While the cars were there it gave the rest of us a chance to stand and stare.
