At churches in Abingdon this morning there were prayers for the victims of the lorry attack on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, that killed 84 people and injured many more.
On Friday evening I was taking a picture of Abingdon County Hall when 3 young lads came near aiming their smart phones at a point nearby. I could not see what rare Pokémon they were trying to catch as Pokémon are not visible on my camera.
The official Pokémon website explains: “As you move around, your smartphone will vibrate to let you know you’re near a Pokémon. Once you’ve encountered a Pokémon, take aim on your smartphone’s touch screen and throw a Poké Ball to catch it. Be careful when you try to catch it, or it might run away!”
The Abingdon play and activity day returned to Southern Town Park today. It was organised by the Oxfordshire Play Association and the Vineyard Church, and there were lots of other groups taking part
There was drumming and creative stalls… a go cart track on the basket ball court …
Winnie the Witch was there with Wilbur the cat …
there were bubble making wands, and bubbles you could roll about in…
a bike that made smoothies, and much much more.
Also good to hear of moves to try to save the South Abingdon Children’s Centre. There was a meeting last week on that very subject that included the Play Association.
