At the Miele Experience Centre – the closest thing Abingdon has to a Nasa Space Centre – Choose Abingdon organised this evening’s   “Good Living” event.

There were chances to try free samples from a lot of local producers … wines from The Bothy Vineyard – just 2 miles outside Abingdon …

spicey savouries from Abbey Foods … chocolate cake from Rosie’s Tea Room…

I was too late to squeeze into a demo by Fabulous Flowers, but instead I talked with Lendon and Dawn from The Barwell Gallery. The racehorse picture  “Nice and Easy” is by Lendon.

I caught up on the progress of Abingdon Town Council who are organising what could be one of the biggest Jubilee street party in 2012 – on Ock Street, Abingdon

The evening ended with a draw to win a Miele Vacuum. The winner will be getting a call very soon.
