This morning the Vineyard Church had their service at the outdoor pool. Ray Ball is explaining what baptism means in this picture.

Two of their members were baptised, total immersion, to demonstrate the commitment they had made to God.

I didn’t get any pictures of the actual baptism since I volunteered to hold the video camera. I am worrying whether I turned it on at that most important moment near the end when one of Ray’s family was baptised… If I did then Ray will send me some stills to update this post.

Ruth Cross is seen here handing out leaflets to let people know about Abingdon Heritage Open Day – next Saturday.

Abingdon Concert Band were playing.

There were three different charity stalls. This one is raising money for a Community Centre in Brixton, South London.

And here are Ken Clarke who has never been Mayor of Abingdon as far as I know and Peter Spooner who was Mayor back in the 1980s.

And Muriel Fraser selling prints of original paintings, and photographs of Abingdon. All proceeds to charity. Let me know if I got anybodies name wrong. I’m hopeless with names.

Has anybody out there any more they can add to the history of the pub.

I did go inside to ask whether there were any interesting historical features I could photograph…

and was told the building was the real history.

Millets Farm Centre was once just a Pick Your Own Farm and has expanded to do many things.

All the way down the A34 Millets Farm Centre has these Brown Signs. They imply it is the tourist destination in these parts.

They direct you at this point away from Abingdon not towards Abingdon.

Thanks to John for the pictures and the question: How did a pick-your-own get in before our town?
