Housemartins return!

Well the Housemartins are back, have you got a muddy patch in your garden for them to collect and build their nests? Hopefully they will find a bit if it rains this weekend. Has anyone seen the Swifts yet? I know its summertime when they return to Brightwalton.

Wantage in The Daily Mail

Wantage was in the Daily Mail.
I wonder if anybody saw this article in the Daily Mail, its a bit exaggerated, what do you think?

Local teenagers mull around the bus stop bench for want of anything better to do.... it's always been their meeting point, so nothing new there! One said he can't get work in a pub or wine bar cos they've all closed down! Which ones have closed?
New Sainsburys moved to the 'outskirts of town' what 100 yards from the High street?
