There have been forecasts of snow this weekend.
Last night a few snow flakes could be seen falling when you looked at the streetlights. It could have been the first snow of the winter here in Abingdon. But this morning there is not a lot of snow about – just a thin covering on a couple of roofs in West St Helen Street.
Snowdrops are still to be seen near Old Abbey House, along the wall bordering the garden.
A Norwegian friend of my mothers used to refer to snowdrops as snowbells, somehow seemed more correct as they are like bluebells just different in colour.
Hi Badger. There are flowers that come later called snowbells and also some called snowflakes.
I am trying to write a brief history of cycle speedway in Abingdon in the earl 1950s. Is it possible for you to put something in the blog asking for anyone’s memories or pictures?
thanks
ok. will do.
