While in Argentan, Abingdon’s twin town in Normandy, our hosts Pierre and Ionie praised productions by the Abingdon Operatic Society they had seen during visits to Abingdon.
‘Anything Goes’ is on at the Amey Theatre until Saturday. I don’t know the songs yet, but then I didn’t know many of the songs from Oklahoma before seeing their production of that musical last year. I just hope this will be as good.
Through the rubble, as the Old Gaol out-buildings are demolished, I can just about make out a sign…
It says “POOL DEPTH HERE 2.0 m. “
That must be the deep end…
I still find it difficult to work out the geography of this swimming pool from outside, but must have swam many thousands of lengths inside its walls.
To the left is the balcony where there was a bar and people could relax with a drink and look down, at odd moments, at the pool below. In the late evening music played and it was like syncopated swimming.
Further along to the left, next to the KOMATSU, is a balcony from where I watched down as our two children flapped as they tried to swim their first widths near the shallow end …
Those days are just a memory and the building will soon be gone.
I met a tearful lady, and her young daughter, posting fliers in West St Helen Street…
“Please help. The kitten pictured above has been missing since Tues 23rd March from East St Helen’s area. She is easily spooked and has been missing before and was not far away…. I am worried that the recent night road works have frightened her.
Please call or text on 07871 923696… Thank you so so much in advance.’
Just beginning to piece together what happened last weekend while I was away. Kaz sent me pictures of What’s Up Folk on the Market Place.
They are a folk group from John Mason School who entertained people in the Market Place on Saturday.
Kay, from Ashnah Belly Dancers, said it was a wonderful day and they had performed at the same event – but unfortunately no pictures of them yet. What I do have is a flier she sent me a couple of weeks back for ‘A Night of World Music and Dance‘ at the Amey Theatre, Abingdon School on 24th April.
