Tony sent this picture taken from the footbridge to the Wildmoor allotments during their exercise walk today. Nobody appeared to be hurt. Traffic tailed back as far as the eye could see.

I was at work doing a double shift so did not see much of Abingdon. At work procedures keep tightening up more and more to protect the people we support. Today was the first time we wore PPE most of the time. At 8pm I went on the doorstep with one of the people we support, and took off the facemask apron and gloves, to clap the NHS. As well as a lot of people on their doorsteps clapping, there were saucepans being bashed and some fireworks. I haven’t yet been at home to take pictures from West St Helen Street of the Thursday at 8pm tribute.

I cycle past apple trees in blossom, sheep and lambs, and cows and calves on the way to work.
