Floodplain Drying Out, Spring Coming On


A sunny day in Abingdon. The ground has dried out since the wet days pictured in February. On Saturday 14 March, Abingdon Parkrun restarted — the first run since 17 January 2026.

The Oxford Pride double decker bus is seen here crossing Abingdon Bridge, adding a splash of colour to the morning.

Nearby, the daffodils by Abingdon Bridge are in bloom, brightening the scene further.

Other daffodils bloom in a loose crescent, with a gap at the centre, with St Helen’s beyond. Spring is not far away. Today felt like it had already arrived.
