The slideshow – with music – is a roundup of Abingdon in February 2011 with some never seen before pictures. It is dominated by the growth of the scaffolding round the County Hall. I have no idea how buns are going to be thrown through such scaffolding yet. I would imagine quite a few will rebound and hit the poor dignatories.
The war memorial was stabilised back in January, and a few days ago began the work of enhancing the area with paving, seats, and trees so that it will be a fitting tribute to those from Abingdon who have gave their lives for their country in conflicts overseas.
The Town Crier was out and about at 10:30 this morning advertising The Kevin Tomlinson Impro Show.
Kevin does a very good show and this time is raising money for the Mayor’s charity – Abingdon Bridge. I will probably go along and find it is sold out because you all got there before me. Tickets £10 from the Information Centre.
On the Market Place there were some actors doing The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (ABRIDGED) to promote their show…

The scaffolding round the County Hall is going up another level. It must be fairly near the top.

As nightfall falls there is still more scaffolding to erect tomorrow, when it could get even more extraordinaire.
