Abingdon has two good chocolate shops. I have featured Abingdon’s own Sweet Chocolate and must do again sometime soon. There is also Thorntons who for the next two weeks have 25% off.

My daughter works there part time.

Like last weekend, the Carbon Cutters were making juice from windfall apples.

All the things on this table are made from recycled plastic.

Two ex Mayors, Lorraine Oates and Alison Rooke were in front of the Town Council stall. Alison happens to be now Chair of the Vale of White Horse – that is the equivalent of Mayor of the District.

There were a few other stall besides. This one was to do with green architecture.

I have never in my life seen a group of people getting so much fun out of peeling an apple. But that is the Carbon Cutters for you.

Many Thanks to Scooter McKenzie for this cartoon. But I need a caption. Any ideas?

This is what they look like before a lick of paint.

And this is how they look after – all shiney and brown. Half are fenced off, and half not.
