The Level 8 grafitti,
has been totally removed –
none of it by Banksy.
So it will not make the news…
Today was #NationalPoetryDay – a time to #thinkofapoem .
Outside, at Level 9, the moon had risen above the County Hall in the South,
and the sun was setting behind Trinity Church in the West.
Just one day to go… Vodafone Abingdon are to open on Friday 3rd October 2014. The Mayor and Town Crier will be there.
Up until now the nearest Vodafone shops were to be found in the City of Oxford, in the unspoilt Market Town of Witney, the ever expanding town of Bicester, and Newbury, where Vodafone have their HQ.
The October 1st theme for the City Daily Photo is movement. You can see other bloggers’ posts here.
I took a couple of pictures from in front of St Nicolas Church. The first shows the blur of a moving cyclist with the County Hall behind.
The second, taken a couple of hours later, shows the blur of a moving car with the County Hall behind.
Nikolaus Pevsner said of the building: “Of the free-standing town halls of England with open ground floors this is the grandest“.
Thanks to Theresa for a report and pictures of St Edmunds Community Day …
There were over 30 adults (parents, grandparents, staff and parishioners) and 40 children in school on Saturday at St Edmunds School, Abingdon, to complete projects in the school grounds such as:
* Cleaning and planting pots with flowers and bulbs
* Building a ball run and water wall for Foundation Stage
* Cutting back and cleaning the school pond area
* Constructing vegetable patches and a bug house
* Sweeping and tidying the outside play areas
* Painting stepping stones for the end of the field
* Digging up and replanting the borders at the front and the back of school
* Painting a mural in Foundation Stage
Theresa said “It was a fantastic day and lots of fun! We recycled a lot of material donated by parents which would otherwise have gone to landfill. We are planning on holding another Community Day next year.”
