It should allow the black swan that has be come a feature near the Margaret Brown Gardens to return to its normal winter feeding ground. It does not seem popular with the white swans.

Thanks to Peter who sent me a picture – of his – that has already appeared on BBC South. It shows the moon last night above St Helen’s Church. If the lunar eclipse was visible at all last night it would have been around dawn and from Cornwall and Devon – cloud permitting. Did anybody see it in Abingdon?

George, who I have not heard from for ages, sent me a picture of the crosses in St Edmund’s Churchyard. Each cross is a memorial to one of the Sisters of Mercy who came to help educate the poor of Abingdon in days gone by.

Richard sent two pictures, taken on Monday, where neighbours on Cameron Avenue – off the Radley Road – got together to clear their road.
