The Abingdon Operatic Society were singing carols outside the Abingdon Community Freespace Shop this morning.
Father Christmas was inside the shop. The Abingdon Lions have taken him all round the estates of Abingdon.
On the Market Place the Salvation Army were playing and singing carols.
It was a gorgeous morning. The sun was shining, after yesterday’s rain, and the Rivers were quite high.
Happy Christmas to you and your family, Backstreeter, and all your followers.
Merry Christmas Backstreeter, you’re a good man.
Have good Christmas Alistair and another brilliant year done.
Thankyou Backstreeter for all the wonderful photos of 2019 – May you long continue to show us the diversity of life in Abingdon! Happy Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you Backstreeter and all the good folk of Abingdon as well as my good friend Howard Moon (who loves this town)
Wishing Backstreeter and all his readers an enjoyable Christmas and a healthy and peaceful New Year.
Merry Christmas to you Backstreeter and all the good folk of Abingdon, as well as my good friend Howard Moon (who loves this town)
Have a wonderful Christmas Alistair…and to all regular contributors. The floodwaters are rising behind our house but I think we’ll be ok – the forecast is dry for this week and the next!
Merry Christmas to you Backstreeter, and a joeful New Year to everybody!
The Abingdon blog is the first thing I download each morning, before the newspapers or even my e-mails. Thank you Alastair for your very much appreciated glimpses of life in our lovely town.
Agreed Chris, I don’t even live in Abingdon after an incident with a Kangaroo, yet the blog is my home page.
for those that like watching river levels

note that the ock is still 80cm short of when the floods happened and currently falling.
Thank you, Alistair, for all you do for us and our lovely town. Have a good Christmas and a safe 2020
Thanks Backstreeter – keep up the good work and have a great Christmas.
Thanks Rudi – the meadow is clear now…Merry Christmas!
