The Mayday Bank Holiday weekend began with a slight frost. Mist floated over the water of the River Thames, below Abingdon Bridge.
On the Market Place the 10th Abingdon (St Helen’s) Scout Group had a table top sale.
Last weekend the district scouts held a St George’s Day parade at the European School in Culham. Gone are the days when there is a parade in Abingdon every year since the merger of Abingdon District and Didcot District in April 2012.
There were two buskers on the Bury Street Shopping Centre, one playing the lute, and the other the flute.
As the day progressed people looked up to the skies at the roar of aircraft arriving, or practising for the 2014 Abingdon Air and Country Show. It is at Dalton Barracks, tomorrow (May 4th).
The town was lovely on Saturday afternoon – lots of people around enjoying the sunshine – coffee shops were doing well – I hope the retailers managed to lure people in too.
St Ethelwolds garden was beautiful – they are doing teas in the garden all week this week in conjunction with their Art Week exhibition – well worth a look.
