A lot of daffodil bulbs were planted in front of the Fire Station today. The idea came when the Fire fighters at Abingdon wanted to pay tribute to a former colleague – a welshman – hence the daffs – who recently lost his battle against cancer. The idea then blossomed into making it a “Field of Hope” and asking everyone who has been touched by cancer to be involved.

Duncan Brown, the Mayor, went from bulb planting to opening the Skinny Hippo.

(Two other shops opened in the town centre over the weekend so I will try to feature them soon – but Cargo has closed.)
