The Local Excellence Market was on the Market Place today. There are four of these a year. The last one, three months ago, was threatened by snow.
It was the weather for strawberries and cream with Wimbledon only two days away.
The candle, and chocolate stalls had to cancel. It was so hot that their products would have melted.
Abingdon Country Market were there. They have a monthly market at the Salvation Army in St Helen’s Street on the 2nd Saturday of each month, and so the Local Excellence Market gave them two markets in June.
Also lots of people enjoying the Coffee culture here in Abingdon.
England’s last 16 match against Columbia is Tuesday evening as the World cup enters the knockout stage. The nails will be kept painted while England are still in the competition.
It will be an achievement of sorts for England to reach the quarter finals for the first time since 2006 – as remembered on this blog.
I wish had some of those Strawberries, (note to self: add to shopping list)
I am assuming that the nails that will be repainted are not the Backstreeter’s hands.?
Really good day in town today and particularly good to see the union flag flying high over county hall displaying a reminder that today is armed forces day !
It was a wonderful day in Abingdon. Excellent market and the town buzzing with people, outdoor pool (which was lovely) at full capacity and the rest of the Abbey Meadows heaving with families enjoying themselves.
What an asset.
Town was indeed buzzing – I chose not to go to the outdoor pool though as I didn’t feel it was appropriate to put extra pressure on the council’s resources when they don’t really have the funds.
