On most Mondays, on the Market Place, is a THROW RUG TIGER.
This Monday, on Stert Street, was a DREAM D00RS DOG.

Knitted Monk
Janet has sent a picture of the knitted post-box top on top of the post-box outside Tesco.
The monk on the Tesco traffic island fell over at the start of November and is still down.
She wonders whether a local company could sponsor the roundabout as happens in other towns.
New Cake Shop
A new cake shop will open on Stert Street on Saturday, 21st, 2023. The business, established in 2019, previously traded from Bayworth, a village near Abingdon, selling cakes made for special occasions.
This is the first new shop to open in Abingdon in 2023.
Pictures of cakes can be seen on instagram.com/lottiesbakeaway.
Air Ambulance in Abingdon
2022 was the busiest year yet for Thames Valley Air Ambulance, with over 3000 callouts.
They were called out to 1,161 incidents in Berkshire, 1,086 in Buckinghamshire, 818 in Oxfordshire, and 93 in the surrounding area.
Last weekend, the air ambulance was called out near Abingdon Rugby Club.
Looking at the interactive mission map, you can see previous callouts up to December 2022, including those to Abingdon.
As a charity, they rely on donations of funds and volunteers’ time. Abingdon Air and Country Show always gives them a prominent place and offers a large donation from any profits. The 23rd annual show is on Saturday, 20th May 2023.
