Yesterday we caught the X3 into Oxford and, among other things, walked through the Covered Market where Hedges’ posters advertise the geese and turkeys – supplied by Peachcroft Farm for over 75 years.
Turkeys and geese could be seen above the shop.
Hedges in Abingdon also have the same posters – alongside blackboards telling passers-by of the meats on offer.
There is no display of turkeys and geese above the shop window,. There is not even a shop window. Hedges delivery vans operate from here, but there is a door welcoming customers.
Not far away on the Market Place Mistletoe was hung out on the plant stall. Another of the ingredients for Christmas.
…
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

From Nat King Cole’s – The Christmas Song.
Hedges and Peachcroft – Abingdon Christmas feast guaranteed!
Covered Market all bases covered….
Turkeys & Mistletoe & the Christmas truce, (the famous ww1 trench truce) wouldn’t that be lovely? Today I visited the Soldiers of Oxfordshire museum at Woodstock, fascinating way to spend an hour or so and reflect what they went through-for us !
Peachcroft turkeys are delish. Worth the extra if you can afford it.
