There are a lot of clothing sales in Abingdon at the moment, as seen here at New Look.

Next door Valentina, part of Bury Street since 2014, has recently closed.

Thomas Cook have ‘Summer 2018’ advertised, as well as last minute deals for this year.

“Schools Out for Summer!” this Friday. That coincides with the arrival of the Swan Uppers in Abingdon.

Also this week will be a chance to start collecting the first blackberries before the wasps get them.

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
Edmund’s a Saint
Valentine too …

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
