The Local Excellence Market had a lot of stalls including a wood turner running a simple lathe with a foot pedal and string.

The Market seemed to be doing well, as did the coffee places. Whether all  the town businesses benefit as well I’m not sure

It seems strange that the newly refurbished precinct is still being touched up. The two large new units are still empty six months down the line.

There were two men scraping the moss from the roof of the Old Abbey Buldings. This week in the Unicorn Theatre The Abindon Drama Club has been performing The Accrington Pals.

Bells were ringing for weddings. The Town Crier was in good voice crying from the County Hall roof, and clearly audible down below.

It was a lovely Saturday. Pictures of the Family Day at Dalton Barracks to follow.

On Saturday 6th July from 3 – 6.30 pm there will be a variety of entertainments followed by a circus with a difference …

in the barn of Stonehill House.

The performers are ‘Street Children’ from Russia.

Upsala Circus is a unique project aimed at giving ‘at risk’ kids, a dream, through learning circus and other skills.

If the weather holds good then there will be a chance for people to wander the gardens, enjoy a string quartet playing in the open pavilion, have tea & cakes, look at stalls on the lawn etc. The circus show itself is at 5pm.

Stonehill House is off Oday Hill. The Stonehill house website has the booking details and directions. Many thanks to Anthea for hosting this, and all the other interesting activities she has put on of late.
