In St Helen’s Church earlier this evening
young people were being taken round and shown how things work – behind the scenes.
In the bell tower, one young lad, Isaac aged 13, helped with the demonstration of bell ringing, as he is already a regular bell ringer.
Some of them even got to climb to the bell tower and saw the bells that were hung there 6 years ago and will hopefully last for a few hundred years.
A few weeks on from the first report I see that the outside of the Nags Head pub has been renovated and redecorated.
The gold letters are secured back in position.
It was a good move to open The Nag’s Head riverside island – The Bridge – ahead of time with September being such a good month weatherwise.
The beer pumps look ready so the official re-opening cannot be far off.
At today’s Local Excellence Market in Abingdon there were apples grown just over the border in Abingdon’s old County of Berkshire.
Cheese made in Abingdon’s new County of Oxfordshire.
Bread and Patisserie baked on East Saint Helen Street, Abingdon-on-Thames.
Fabulous Flowers prepared on Bridge Street, Abingdon-on-Thames.
Additional attractions included folk music, rescue owls and sunshine from heaven above.
