Happy New Year – from the cold of 2020 to the hope of 2021

The Abingdon Herald has one of Daniel’s pictures looking down on the football ground. Here is another picture by Daniel from near Abingdon Lock looking back to Abingdon Bridge

And this is the bridge from over the cricket ground. Such clear pictures. They are amazing.

Ice remained on flood water all day long – as the sun went down on 2020.

One of my unfulfilled aspirations is to ice skate in Abingdon.

Happy New Year and hope you fulfill your New Year’s aspirations.

    The Thames often floods about this time of the year but the drone shots give us a fascinating aerial view of them. Thanks to Daniel.

    incredible what technology can do for us. once you’d need a movie studio budget and a helicopter to film stuff like this, now anyone can do it for a couple of hundred pounds.

    I know it’s flooded at the moment but you can clearly see some of those fields would make great locations for development. Flats, etc.

    Strange you should mention that, Daniel. I represent ‘Houses On Stilts’ a long-standing AIM Market company, which I have just set up financed by the contents of various brown paper envelopes I have just found in the top draw of my desk, though I am open to partners wishing to co-finance via their pension pots. WE WILL NOT BUILD ON FLOOD PLAINS, but intend to take up the wasted space occupied by river channels. The Thames hasn’t been dredged for years and our architect has plans for a designer-terrace of ten-story flats to run parallel to Wilsham Road … this might be inconvenient for some … but not for us.

    In addition, we have a spin-off subsiduary, or ‘a ltttle pup’ as we like to call it, named ‘Float-Away Homes’. These are a new concept … you can buy a house in Abingdon and spend a wet Summer tryiing to get it through Shepperton Lock. Far more healthy than flying to Spain.
