The museum roof is open most weekends during summer. In the foreground is the Old Gaol, and near the horizon: Didcot Power Station.

From up on the roof you can even see the occasional Pink Limo.

This view is down Bridge Street. Abingdon looks quite idyllic in this view. Its not idyllic. Its a real place.

At Abingdon Vale Cricket ground, croquet was being played today. This game involves hitting a ball through hoops with a long mallet, and may well be a distant cousin of Cricket, but I haven’t see it before at the Cricket Ground.

The Plane trees along St Helens Wharf were cut back last autumn, and started growing back slowly. This is a before-the-flood picture taken six weeks ago.

Six weeks on, and the sun has returned for the August bank holiday. Those leaves have got going.

Last year I watched with interest the re-development of the Peachcroft Christian Centre. It started with a church not much bigger than a Ford Ka. The bit to the right of the red Ford Ka is the original church.

The much larger building was opened back in May 2007, and so this post will be old news to most people.

There are lots of pictures of the building and opening on the peachcroftcc.org website. It is the only church website I know of in Abingdon where you can listen to mp3 sermons.
