The marina was looking a little frozen up…

as was West Saint Helen Street Carpark first thing.

The Abingdon Town FC reserves game against Headington Amateurs had to be called off.
 
But then the sun came out – as seen her along the Boxhill walk into town.

And it almost felt like summer on the Market Place.

Even the best made winter construction had begun to melt – like this half-igloo on the Abingdon Vale Cricket Pitch.

Another day with snowfall. During our early morning walk the snow felt wet and the ground was slushy, but then more and more snow fell later in the morning.

The Knowl.

The Ock Valley Walk.

Saint Helen’s Wharf (thanks to Sarah)

St Nicolas School (thanks to Kaz)

The Abbey Buildings.

The lake next to Abingdon Marina at sunset.

Long Alley Almshouses.

Thats more like it. Real snow! (see Tuesday when we had a disappointingly small amount of snow compared to the rest of the South East)

Thanks to Sarah for this picture and the one of Queen Victoria above.

Thanks to Hester for sending me this squirrel.

Thanks to Michael for the snowman and snowdog on the Market Place

I met this young family who were off to see if Nursery was still on.

Cherries is to close…

once the replacement premises, a few doors further up Bath Street, is finished.

Wot. No Cherries?

(The light snow of 2 days ago has been replaced with real snow – haven’t seen it like this in Abingdon for 21 years – pictures tomorrow.)
