Abingdon Blog – June 2020 update

It is ten years since I have updated the look of the Abingdon Blog, and today have made a few changes which I hope will work. They include:
* bringing all posts and comments since 2006 in one archive (rather than 3)
* improve how it looks on mobile phones
* allows replies to replies, and replies to replies to replies etc.
* fix historic links to websites that no longer exist (there are a lot that have stopped working since 2006)
* allow space for bigger pictures and videos
* remove the brown flock wallpaper which was looking dated

Let me know what you think. If it all goes wrong, and you cannot leave a reply, email backstreet60@gmail.com .

I could still go back to the old but hope to fix any problems and move forward.

Peachcroft Farm Pumpkins – The Eve of the Storm

2 Replies

Only four days to go to Halloween. The top pumpkin farm in Abingdon this year looks to be Peachcroft Farm.

You can select a pumpkin and take it to the size checker at the farm shop to find the price.

By morning, when the worst predicted storms since October 1987 have struck town, there could be more than a single pumpkin on the ground.

Health Walks Picnic
Thanks to our Health Walks correspondent for pictures of an event earlier this week. The Mayor attended and said some words to thank Viv Boorman (in hi viz jacket and sun glasses) for her 10 years of tireless service in organising the health walks.

Over 50 of the group attended the picnic. A good time was had by all.
