Well Being Fayre
I would never have got to the Well Being Centre’s Christmas Fayre if it had not been for Dr Les Clyne handing out leaflets in town to remind people it was on.

There are a number of community groups use the Well Being Centre on Audlett Drive, although its main purpose is as a day centre and help centre for elderly people.

When you walk in through the main entrance – round the back where the white social service vans are parked – there is some 2010 artwork by the ceramics group who have a workshop at the centre.

Geese head North and Steam goes East

These geese are heading north. Birds normally migrate south at the start of winter. So this group must be heading back to their overnight roost.

In the second picture there are two sources of water vapor.

To the west, some newer smaller cooling towers – hardly towers at all really as they are no higher than houses – cool the water from the gas-burning Didcot B power station.

The larger cooling towers are part of the older coal-burning Didcot A power station. It only generates electricity between October and March – a peak demand period when it can run at a profit.

Didcot A will be decommissioned by 2015.

There was Craft Market on the Market Place today. Things have warmed up a little since yesterday.

Heather Brown from the Choose Abingdon partnership was promoting the Choose Abingdon loyalty card. There are over 700 members and rising. The partnership is also providing a new service. There will be three easy to put up Gazebos for people’s use on the Market Place at a small charge. I will let you know more when the scheme is launched.

Most of the stall holders today brought their own gazebos – like Joanna here with her hubby selling some of her own design craft products.

The afternoon ended in rain and one of the new gazebos was quickly erected to allow the last group playing carols to stay reasonably dry.
