Easter weekend weather got off to a sunny start as lambs and calves were to be seen in fields near Abingdon.

Calves in the fields over Oday Hill…

It felt like the start of spring with two sunny days this weekend.

Blossom has been enticed out on many trees. There was even a butterfly fluttering in our garden this morning, and another in church.

The River Thames is still flowing fast but the land, although wet and muddy, is no longer inundated.

Green shoots of spring are now appearing after a very mild winter -when the demand has been for sandbags and not grit.

I see from the comments that part of a tree caused damage to the side area of The Boundary House pub. By this morning they had chopped up the wood and waterproofed the roof and are presumably open again.

A little further round Appleford Drive the trunk of a tree in Peachcroft Park has split in two.

In that same area the To Let sign, for the shop that was Blockbuster, at the Peachcroft Shops has been sent crashing.

Blockbuster pulled the shutters down for the final time in November. The UK company went into administration earlier in 2013, but failed to find a buyer.

Blockbuster took over the Ritz Video chain, including the Peachcroft shop, in the 1990s.

There was a windy night last night and it brought down quite a few trees in and around Abingdon.

Conduit House narrowly escaped being damaged by a large pine tree falling in Albert Park.

Two big trees have come down near the Abbey Meadow Water Park.

The earth round their roots had been softened after being under Thames flood water for so long.

There are also trees falling down by the River Ock – near the bottom of Healey Close.

One willow is across the river – any more heavy rain and it would be a flood risk.

There were also walls and fences down round properties. So a dramatic night – first the floods, and now the winds.
