A couple of pictures from the Market Place this lunchtime. The first one shows the Abingdon MP (Member of Parliament) Dr Evan Harries with one of his fellow campaigners trying to save the Community Hospital. Evan Harries was also in Abingdon for the Remembrance Day parade last weekend but spends most of his weekdays in London at the Houses of Parliament.

The second picture is of the Waterways Trust. They work and campaign and educate to look after our Waterways and make them a good habitat for wildlife. They told me of various projects they have been involved in but the one I could most relate to was the reintroduction of otters to the Thames near Lechlade. They had lots of furry toy otters on the stall.
