#BritishHeartFoundation to close 150 #charityShops as costs rise
Shoppers turning to online options also affects #BHF, which has carried out review of retail arm

In #Oxford we lost the one at #Headington already and I think the one in St. Ebbs is also due to close.

Headington Liveable Streets commissioned a redesign of the main Windmill Road/London Road crossroads junction, based on a 2022 Oxford Pedestrian Association audit of the area, and it looks pretty nifty

I quite like the design, and I'm a big fan of those dutch roundabouts, but I kinda wonder what the busco would have to say about that central island.🦈 @oxford

#Oxford: the #Oxfam shop in #Headington has lots of sheet music for #viola from beginners & folk through to repertoire.

#Oxford - the Cancer Research UK shop in #Headington (on the left heading out of town) has some very beautiful electric #guitars in the window today (and there were different ones last week, they seem to have found a good supply of these). I was almost tempted. The #violins they have are no use, though. A full sized lark and a child sized skylark, both lacking strings.

#Oxford: a bunch of children's #violins and a half size #cello in the window today at Cancer Research UK charity shop in #Headington (the one on the left heading out of town). Also some electric #guitars.

A fantastic bit of weather for a #hike up and around #Shotover, through #Horspath, over to grab lunch in #Wheatley, and back over Shotover and down to #Headington. #Oxford #Hiking #England #Countryside #CountrysideWalk

Today I went on a lovely #hike in the gorgeous weather here in #Oxford. I started in #Headington, and then on to #Iffley. I visited the Iffley parish church for a nice place to have a sandwich in the sunshine:

Today I walked a round trip of 13km: up Shotover hill, down into Wheatley for a coffee, up past Wheatley windmill and down into Horspath. I peeked though the windows of the primary school that I last attended a third of a dang century ago, and went back up and over Shotover country park. It was a fantastic hike, made even better by the wood absolutely bursting with bluebells! #Headington #Oxford #Shotover #Wheatley #Horspath #hiking #walking #bluebells #woods #nature #forest

Today was composed of 3 separate walks, for a grand total of just over 16km - /without/ me absolutely limping home at the end. I think I might be improving! Anyway, have a photo of a tree from deep inside Shotover country park, early this morning … #Hiking #Walking #Oxford #Headington #Shotover

A good hike along Oxford’s waterways today, *almost* ending an all-days’-goals-completed week! Let’s see if I can’t make it 7+ days in a row … 😀 #hiking #Oxford #Headington #health #exercise

Did a morning #hike in the lovely #Oxford springtime sunshine, out from #Headington, up and over #Shotover, and down into #Wheatley for a nice coffee at “Bruin Café”. Then up the hill and back again - hence so many “Flights Climbed”! #hiking #outdoors #walking #spring
