Little Beginnings Art Show

1 Reply

Local and Urban Artist Deemon Black emailed me to say he will be presenting 5 local Artists and 9 famous Street Artists for 5 days in Abingdon On Thames.

He said “I wanted to bring the London Art Scene to Abingdon instead of having to go to the City! I didn’t realise I would get names like Pure Evil, K-guy, and My Dog Sighs signing up to exhibit ”

The exhibition event page on Facebook has more details, and the exhibition will be at the community shop from the 15-20 Dec. Entry is free from 10:00 – 17:00 each day. Here is some of what you may see …

Turkey Plucking
The geese are still there in the neighbouring field, but there is not a bird to be seen in the Turkey field at Peachcroft Farm.

There is just a sign indicating that Turkey Pluckers should park on the grass.

I gather that the Turkey Pluckers start at an early hour. They include some hard working European people, including a few students.

New Public Toilet
A new public toilet has been built next to Hales Meadow car park in Abingdon. It has a more traditional look than the previous

toilets that were removed from the same site last year.

The toilet includes two touch-free sink areas, a baby changing cradle, mirrors, an automated cleaning system, and plenty of room to allow it to be used easily by people with disabilities. It costs just 10p to use, and for that you get up to fifteen minutes.

Small Business Saturday
Our local MP, Nicola Blackwood, happened to be in Simon’s News, in East St Helen Street, when I popped in this afternoon. She was presenting Mr Simon Escreet with a certificate, and champagne, as winner of The 2014 Nicola Blackwood Shop Small Awards. The shop had received the most nominations by local people, and the awards were presented on Small Business Saturday.

Just over the road Nicola presented the Runners Up Award to Patisserie Pascal.

Then back over the road again to present another Runners Up award to Galaxy Techno.

So well done to all three shops in East St Helen Street.
