I've successfully launched three children and several businesses, and now I'm saving the planet.
Frequently re-energised by the joys of nature and low impact transport.
In Abingdon we are lucky enough to have one.

Extra points to @greenpartyemma.bsky.social for the Tolkien reference.
Tolkien was early to understand the damage caused by industrial pollution and cars.

I'm adding up the costs - am I right that this is significantly cheaper than the repairs to the Kennington ring road bridge?

I for one regard an en-dash as aesthetically pleasing compared to a stubby hyphen or an excessive em-dash.
Hyphens within hyphenated words, yes – but not between words.

Guide Dogs is in need of more puppy raiser volunteers in Oxfordshire. Puppy raisers typically care for a guide dog puppy for 12-16 months and will guide him or her through early training, in a loving home.

Excellent article @georgemonbiot.bsky.social
I'm in Oxfordshire and support the Oxford Clarion too.

We need to look to our Fundamental British or English Values:
* Democracy
* The Rule of Law
* Individual Liberty
* Mutual Respect and Tolerance of different faiths and beliefs.
The flag should stand for these, and it's where some people disrespect the 4th with it that makes me queasy.

I believe it's an old District Line train, converted into a test train. In which context, 40mph is not too bad...

The new Old Anchor in Abingdon looks worth exploring...
Or, there's the brewery that makes beer named after 600-year old infrastructure...

Wonder why Vance chose the Cotswolds and not the USA for his holidays...

Implying that Ronnie Barker was a clown is going a bit far.
