From a customer at @TheOldAnchor . “At The Old Anchor, pint of mulled cider and a roaring fire. Doesn’t get much better than that. Shame we have to walk home!“.

Boat owners do a lot of tweeting.  There is quite a network.  From @nbthegreenman “All the water points are frozen. Should’ve paid attention to the weather forecast and filled up yesterday.”

From me @back_streeterHarry Lost and Found (again)“.

I was too busy taking pictures – it was so picturesque – to notice that Harry followed another group of people and dogs.

Finally from @mostlybooksmark replying to @AbingdonCofCSo do we know *which* shops Johnny Depp visited when he was in #Abingdon this week?

Spot the Difference – It’s back to normal

Yesterday at KingsCraft
Yesterday at Abingdon Boat Centre .

High pressure brought warm air from the south creating an unseasonal week with a crowded Abbey Meadow over the weekend. Children were enjoying the water sprinklers and many parties were enjoying a picnic in the park. Even yesterday there was still a warm dazzlingly sunny day, but unfortunately it was back to school or work for most – so there were fewer people about to enjoy the boats.

Today at Abingdon Boat Centre

But cooler weather from the Atlantic has now pushed out the remaining warm air and today was a grey day with light showers near the end, and it was getting dark much too early.

Tomorrow will bring wet and windy weather, and turn much cooler …

But we do have the Abingdon Marathon and Micahelmas Fair to look forward to – so long as it doesn’t rain too much.
