Anybody who has read the Abingdon Herald will have seen that the Snowdop is ‘Plant of the Week’. This group are in the Abbey Gardens. The Herald says snowdrops are a little late this year because of all the snow.

There was even a flurry of snow overnight, but having wrapped themselves up tight the snowdrops have survived to brighten up another day.

There is artwork by Peter Bellingham (aka Scooter Mckenzie) at the museum as part of the Art and Artists of Abingdon exhibition. He also now has a graphic novel out …

It’s called ‘The puzzling cases of D. Cypher, Private Eye’. In each of the six short stories you solve the puzzles, collect the clues and help Cypher crack the case. Visit www.scootermckenzie.blogspot.com for more details.

At the Broad Face there is jazz every Sunday Afternoon from 4PM, and R&B The First Thursday of the Month from 9PM.

From Wednesday, ‘Alls Well That Ends Well’ is on at the Unicorn Theatre’s famous “Elizabethan Style” stage.

One way to publicise such gigs or events in Abingdon is to send an e-mail to The Abingdon Diary. It has been going for about a year now, and the e-mail is on the site.

This art work caught my eye. It is made from pussy willow, and is to be seen in the window of Fabulous Flowers in Bridge Street. It is St Valentine’ Day next Sunday – the first major commercial celebration of the year with restaurants and shops around town advertising their Valentine’s Day / weekend’s offerings.

This dressing table, in the window of Abode Interiors (in Coxeter House) also caught my eye – because of the reflection of the red door opposite (from Clock House) in the mirror.
