A new bus shelter has been put in along Marcham Road. It is a good advertising space .

One side features Cornbury Festival.
Bus Shelter with Abingdon Blinds Advert
The other side has a a poster featuring Abingdon Blinds.

This is a joint cycle and footway but it does get very narrow round the top corner. The kerb there is also two or three times the height of a normal kerb.The task was made more difficult because a nearby tree has a preservation order.

Queen Victoria with St George Flag
Her Majesty has not been amused by the display of her countrymen on the football fields of South Africa. She expects that her loyal countrymen will show their true spirit today against Slovenia – which she understands is an administrative district of the Duchy of Carinthia, and a small part of the Habsburg Kingdom.

If they fail in the third group match then they will have to come home early and face her Majesty’s displeasure.
