The large event in Oxford, that attracts thousand of people, has also been cancelled. However Oxford are having a virtual May Morning. People can join in by tagging their own social media posts with #MayMorning .

From 6am on May Morning you can see a Virtual May Morning live stream featuring: The Choir of Magdalen College, Oxford Horns of Plenty,  Oxford University Morris Dancers, John Otway, and many more. The Choir of Magdalen College have recorded their parts individually, and through modern technology will be singing together. I don’t know how the Morris Dancers will dance together while apart.

    I have subscribed to the Oxford Mail online. It is relatively cheap to do and gives excellent local news. There is a reduced amount of adverts as well.

    ….if only the government was quicker to react we wouldn’t be having this rain now. I mean…..haven’t they heard of “April showers”? It’s not like it came as a surprise.

    ..New Town? Does this mean the current Abingdon lore is going to be retconned? This is an outrage!
