Abingdon-on-Thames Town Council’s contractor has started installing the Christmas lights, including the Market Place candles, which have been a tradition for many years.
This year, there are also new lights, including a new tree outside the Guildhall. This conical plastic structure is an eye-catching addition to the town’s Christmas decorations, with a large windmill-like snowdrop at the top and snowdrops around the base.
We will have to wait until the Christmas Extravaganza on Saturday, 2nd December 2023, to see the new tree in all its glory.
Snowdrops would be lovely but these are probably meant to be snowflakes!
I saw the poppies lit up this evening, looking great but the wrong way round. The green leaf should be in the 11 ‘o clock position!
The Royal British Legion say that there is no right or wrong way to wear a poppy and it is a matter of personal choice whether an individual chooses to wear a poppy and also how they choose to wear it. The best way to wear a poppy is to wear it with pride.
