There were two little ponies helping to raise funds for a charity in the precinct.

This morning dog walkers could not get over the bridge at the Start of the River Ock. It was cordoned off because a few planks had gone missing. Vandalism damage. By lunchtime the planks had been replaced and the dog walkers were happy again.

Thomas & Co recently moved from Stert Street

to Lombard Street. So if you are in this area looking for an Independent Financial Adviser then “You’ve just found one”.

Walk a bit further and orangefrogmortgages have also recently moved in where the Red Cross Shop used to be on West Saint Helen Street. All I know about orangefrogmortgages is that they sponsor Abingdon United Football Club.

So if you are down this way and you are looking for an Independent Financial Adviser “You’ve just found two”
