Cancer Research Uk re-opened today in Abingdon. They are the second charity shop in Abingdon to re-open.
They have put in place safety measures to stop the transmission of the virus and keep people safe. Only 4 customers will be allowed in the shop at any time and shop displays allow 2 meter social distancing.
Another shop that has a new look is the ex-Ladbrokes. It will open as Abingdon Nail Spa. The nail bar that was in West St Helen Street are moving and upgrading.
The name Abingdon does carry a certain significance. It is also used by Abingdon Health, in York, who are working on a Covid-19 antibody test.
Thank goodness for the charity shops. I managed to get rid of all my clothes from the lock down clear out and as the library is still closed managed to stock up on paperbacks to read.
Acacia UK in Bath Street is due to reopen today, (Thursday), almost 3 years after the devastating fire. Welcome back Marion and the team, we’ve missed you.
I see we have a new Turkish Barber opening on the corner of Lombard Street. I make that 5 Turkish Barbers in town now.
Thank you. That gives me more things to report on
