Out on an early morning walk, I saw the sun rise over Abingdon Sailing Club at 6am.

Morning mist soon gone
March 2011 was the driest since 1953. It was also within the top 15 Marches for sunshine in the last century. April began with seasonal showers but has now settled and we have just had the warmest day of the year. The mist on the river was soon gone.
After a wet night a sunny day
Witch Hazel, or Winterbloom, down St helen’s Close, brightens these January days. A few sheltered snow drops have also appeared.
The River Ock is higher today, as yesterday’s rainfall works its way through the system. The Ock Valley Walk is still clear and there is no need to wade through water.
After a wet night
We have had a lot of rain and large puddles have grown. On a rainy night, this is what the Market Car Park, in the town centre looked like . The car park is used by season ticket holders – mostly traders.
It also houses an area for waste / recycling. The cages are a recent innovation.
By morning the clouds have gone but standing water still remains. On Ferry Walk, just off Wilsham Road, such standing water is an obstacle for the elderly people who live there.
