In one empty shop there is a display showing the winning entries of a School Anti-Litter poster competition
The winning entry says… Rubbish + Bin = Clean Town
Bloom displays are out.
Empty shops look tidier, but a little emptier without the covering screens. Why hide the truth!
There are signs of a new broom in the area…
It’s Independent Booksellers Week from 15th – 22nd June…
In the window of The Bookstore are some flutterbooks for Independent Booksellers Week. They also have their own event: An Evening with Kate Adie next weekend at the Cornerstone Theatre in nearby Didcot.
I could not get my normal view of our other Independent Bookseller, Mostly Books, because there is a new planter in the way.
Featured in the Mostly Books window are the Amazing Books For Boys Event , the Children’s Food Festival, and a Very Hungry Caterpillar…
The Kingfisher Canoe club were gathered at the weir on Saturday evening –
trying to hit a rag, dangling at the end of a string.
The Kingfisher Club do seem to like their games
particularly when there is also a hint of danger.
Bike Week began yesterday.
There was a stall and displays under the Abbey Archway.
There was also a chance to get bikes marked.
There will be a number of bike rides over the next week. This is Andy Watt at the start of cycling six times round the modern boundaries of Abingdon, and a bit more beside. He started at 7 am, and I guess it will be about 60 miles.
Others Bike events are here thanks to the Carbon Cutters of Abingdon.
