The overnight freezing fog left rime on cobwebs and trees this morning.
The sensory garden at Carswell School was designed by Trinity Learning, a charity run by Rosemary Perrow for many years. It helped and still helps a lot of schools and children. Rosemary recently died, but her excellent work at Trinity Learning is carried on by Nicola.
There will be a tabletop sale at Trinity on February 4th.
On Friday evening, the Church in Abingdon quiz took place at Peachcroft Christian Centre with eleven church teams. Trinity won it the last time, but Christ Church – Long Furlong won this time.
I mention those things because twenty years ago, I started blogging, and my first blog was the occasional blog about Trinity Abingdon. The Harry Dog Blog and Abingdon Blog came later in 2006.
Well, that is twenty years of amazing community service. Thankyou, Alastair.
A wonderful 20 years Alistair! I’ve learned more about my town from your blog than any other source and you daily commentary and excellent photos are my first port of call in the morning. Long may you continue!
Harry was the first native Abingdonian I met. He was taking his owner for a walk.
I second ppjs, though still seem to have to recommend this blog to people who haven’t heard of it!
Congratulations and a big thank you from me for your community service.
I too am still learning lots about my home town.
I have fond memories of meeting you and Harry on walks in Abingdon (usually along the Ock Valley). You won’t remember me but you may remember my dog – Dougal – who’s still around (just). Although I’m now in Shropshire, I still check out the blog regularly. Well done on 20 years reporting sir.
I remember you and Dougal very well.
20 years? WOW!!
Thank you Alastair. Thats 20 years well spent and I add my congratulations and appreciation to that already expressed.
Twenty years! How time flies. Quite something, dedication like that deserves some kind of award. Well done.
Many thanks Alastair and congratulations. I look forward to the blog every day and it gives me much pleasure as well as teaching me so much about this lovely town.
Congratulations Alastair on reaching 20 years of blogging. This site is the first one l look at, every day, on my phone and on the tablet. May you go on blogging for the next 20 years.
Thank you for your blogging! Your website definitely far surpasses the local news websites when it comes to finding out things that have been going on in the town, and its history as well.
Twenty years of fantastic work – many congratulations!
