Mary Brooks Ladies Fashionwear at 9 Market Place in Abingdon has closed. There was always a very stylish display in the window.
White Horse Exotics are coming soon to Stert Street.
And Elizabeth sent me a picture from the Monday Market a week ago showing that Fresh Grimsby Fish were on Sale. There was no Market this week because of the Bank Holiday.
Anybody who is as old as me will remember the BBC Quiz ‘Ask the Family’ with Robert Robertson. One round involved showing familiar objects photographed from strange angles and guessing what they were.

The Shoe Shop of Abingdon closed down today. That leaves Abingdon with just two dedicated shoe shops – Clarks and Scruffs.
Coffee shops continue to do much better than traditional shops – such as butchers, greengrocers, and even video rentals – the 1980s success story.
There are notices on the ex-Hadleigh China shop, at the top of West St Helen Street, to say that they are looking for recruits for a frozen yogurt specialist.
A steady stream of people crossed Abingdon Bridge this Easter Bank Holiday.
The hire boats were flying out.
Dushan, the Landlord of the Nags Head pub, enjoys the sunshine.
Sunshine is good for business, particularly on a bank holiday Monday.
