Has anybody out there any more they can add to the history of the pub.

I did go inside to ask whether there were any interesting historical features I could photograph…

and was told the building was the real history.

Millets Farm Centre was once just a Pick Your Own Farm and has expanded to do many things.

All the way down the A34 Millets Farm Centre has these Brown Signs. They imply it is the tourist destination in these parts.

They direct you at this point away from Abingdon not towards Abingdon.

Thanks to John for the pictures and the question: How did a pick-your-own get in before our town?

This Abingdon shoe seller was last featured on this blog with a quote from Shakespeare’s MacBeth “twere well it were done quickly“…

Here is another…

“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted shops
until their closing down…”

The Mayor’s Fishing Competition took place during Bank Holiday Monday Morning. This follows a junior competition on Saturday. During my walk past I saw mostly small fish landed.

I was told there were plenty of Roach about.
…………..
On the subject of fish I was sent a picture by Michal taken at the weir a couple of weeks ago.

He asked me what it was and what it had died of. So I am throwing that one to the experts out there.
