Three good news stories in succession and hardly a coment between them! The bad news may provoke more overt reactions, but thank you Backstreeter for continuing to give us some good news as well – don’t think because we don’t respond we don’t like the posts!
The flower festival is well worth a visit tomorrow if you didn’t manage today. Really Beautiful and clever arrangements of the themes Alastair describes.
In the Pink in the Market a place great entertainment in a very good cause.
The Fire station 50th anniversary celebrations also great fun, and it was great to see so many people turning out for it.
I got chatting to sone relative newcomers to Abingdon who said how lovely it was that there was so often so much going on in the town.
Thought your letter in this weeks herald was excellent hester
A great day in Abingdon. The flowers were wonderful. I expect we shall be seeing (in due course) photos and news from the other other two great events on today. Lots of us will be commenting then I hope!
