Some of us may be back at work but others are still enjoying their holidays – passing under Abingdon Bridge or through Abingdon Lock.

I was struck by how many spiders there are on the framework of Abingdon Lock and Weir. Spiders’ webs join one another, sometimes in the most precarious of places.

A rolling stone may gather no moss, but this year many plants have taken root above the water rolling over the weir.

The mill stream is more overgrown than ever with trees and branches fallen down and water vegetation growing up.
