Daniel took some aerial shots of the snow yesterday over the Boxhill Park Recreation Ground, with the Workhouse Estate to the right.
The pictures allows us to study the paths of the dog walkers.
Today I walked round the same recreation park, in the sun. In this picture Boxhill Road is in front, and the Workhouse Estate behind.
Beside Boxhill Road, a new line of fruit trees were added last autumn to replace some cherry trees that were thought to be diseased. There are apple trees (of various varieties), pear trees (Conference) and plum trees (Victoria). The pear trees (shown above) and plum trees are in full blossom.
It is easy for a non-expert to tell them apart thanks to the descriptive labels.
It does not appear, at this stage, that the blossom has suffered from the snowfall. This is plum blossom.
I think i can see my old house in one of those photos!
Yes, you probably can, David. If you go on to one of the Abingdon Facebook pages you will see even more – and a video with a great aerial view of St Nics school.
The snow may not have affected the blossom but the night frosts may well have done. We shall see later in the year.
