The Bistro re-opened last Saturday on Bath Street with new owners and bright sunny paint. They serve Portuguese food and coffee, and have rooms above for people to stay in. They also do English, Continental, and Brazilian breakfasts.
Thankyou to Steve for sending these pictures from this morning in Wilsham Road.
This week’s Abingdon Herald has an account of the car crash at 1 a.m on Sunday morning. The speeding car first hit a parked vehicle and then careered into the River Thames. Both driver and passenger were able to get out.
This morning the car was rescued from the River Thames.
The car was towed towards more shallow water, and then winched out.
It was a Skoda Octavia sold in 2018.

Steve sent me this picture of a bench in Bath street that has been unusable until a local carpenter took the matter into their own hands and repaired it. They even added a new leg for safety.
If you would like to use the seat then it can be found near the Black Swan and behind Poundland.
