Looking across to North Quay from near the Public Slipway .

Looking across to West Quay, a few minutes later, from the Marina Park .

This event took place at St Ethelwold’s House.

The meat was Halaal (Halaal means permissible).

The idea for the event came out of a talk about the Muslim religion given some months back. Muslims and non-Muslims eating together and swapping e-mail addresses was seen as a good way of getting to know each other. Other events will follow.

Well, the Football season has already started!!!

This charity event at Abingdon Vale Cricket Club saw a swashbuckling batsman at the crease. The young lad with the football top was his runner. Different bowlers had a go bowling, and on average the batsman hit 22 runs off each over. Each run was worth £1 donation from the bowler.

Spot the Ball!

A bright start to the day, but the weather forecast is rain sweeping in from the west.

The games kiosk on the Abbey Meadow caught the early rays this morning

as did the bindweed. Bindweed is in the same family as morning-glory and its flowers are very similar.
