There have been forecasts of snow this weekend.

Last night a few snow flakes could be seen falling when you looked at the streetlights. It could have been the first snow of the winter here in Abingdon. But this morning there is not a lot of snow about – just a thin covering on a couple of roofs in West St Helen Street.

Snowdrops are still to be seen near Old Abbey House, along the wall bordering the garden.

Walking beside the River Ock there were some beautiful views as the sun went down behind the mist.

In places the frost was still slippery. Another year has gone by quicker than the last.

I wonder what next year will bring to Abingdon. Will the Upper Reaches Hotel have a future? Will Abingdon get a neighbourhood plan? Will the Guildhall revamp be completed?

It is eleven years since I started an Abingdon Blog. Will I have enough ideas, and get enough items sent in, to keep it current? Should I do a revamp to make it look up to date? Has the granny wallpaper had its day?

It is 4 am on Saturday Morning. There are still people going home after parties or Christmas work does. There will not be a bus until 6 am.

There is a taxi on the rank, but not the queue of taxis you would have seen earlier in the night.

A council street cleaner is clearing up litter further up the High Street.

The Town Council Christmas lights are off at this late hour. Only the lights in Bury Street ( run by an Asset Management Company) remain on all night.

This year, the full moons of October, November and December all take place when the moon is at its closest point of approach in its orbit around Abingdon — a so-called supermoon

It clouded over later but it looked very bright when I took this picture
