Exploring Banbury & surrounding areas. Finding out the where, what, who, & how of this historic market town in North Oxfordshire.
Nice crowd for this early at the Banbury Music Mix. Just getting started - plenty of time to come down and enjoy the music.

Spent yesterday at the Avon Dassett Soapbox Derby with @modparlphotos.bsky.social who was doing the event photography. His feed will no doubt feature some of those pics so check them out. I did some snapping too but much less polished 😁 #avondassetsoapboxderby

Enjoying Mayhem Flyball Club day out at The National Herb Centre - not as much as the dogs are enjoying it but then, they are MAD WITH JOY.

11 days into #PhotographyMonth and we continue with another bit of #Banbury. Today it's books! Specifically, books via Banbury's Phone-box Library on South Bar, outside St John’s Church.

Happy #WindmillDay to one our favourite 'long walk in the fresh air' destinations, the #Bodicote Windmill. One of the loveliest walks in the area. And when you consider the abundance of lovely walks we have on the doorstep, that's saying something.

And speaking of the ramps, it's one of @modparlphotos.bsky.social's favourite places so when I had a chance to grab this shot of him grabbing his shot - well, I couldn't resist. So a photo of a photographer at work for #photographymonth as well.

It's bikes for today's bit of #Banbury for #photographymonth - and while I enjoy a good bike ride as much as anyone else, there is no way I could manage the amazing jumps, spins and flips that some of the riders at the Spiceball Park ramps perform. Always impressive.

Today's bit of #Banbury for #photographymonth is a two for one of sorts.
'The Dancers' statue is iconic Banbury on its own but in context alongside The Mill Arts Centre is double the banbury-ish-ness.

Today's bit of #Banbury for #PhotographyMonth is the iconic, historic, local business & landmark - Tooley's Boatyard. When I say iconic & historic, I mean it's "one of the oldest working dry docks on the Inland Waterways in continuous use since 1778."

Had the day off yesterday we took ourselves off for a bimble around Oxford. The Radcliffe Camera was looking positively resplendent in the late morning light.
One of the great delights of living in Banbury is how many fantastic days out are practically on the doorstep.

Next Sunday (March 30th) is Take A Walk In the Park Day.
One thing I enjoy most about Banbury is the number of parks around town. Banbury Country Park is probably my fave. I love how it links to other green spaces like the Grimsbury nature reserve & canal walks.
What's your favourite local park?

Our and about in town today - and taking my own advice about trying something new, I've taken a monochromatic approach to things (with a small dash of retro colour - because why not).
