I am more used to seeing the very hungry caterpiller at Mostly Books
Masons
but I see it has also made an appearance at Masons with some other materials for children’s quilt covers and curtains.

Masons is unique to Abingdon. They have 3 shops supplying Abingdon and the surrounding areas with material for sewing, knitting, needlecraft as well as craft material for jewellery making, card making and scrap booking. There is also a seamstress to fix zips, and you can buy a kilt pin there if you need one for Burns Night.

Something new at Abingdon Hospital

Abingdon Community Hospital
The Oxfordshire Primary Care Trust has been trying something new at Abingdon Hospital. They have set up a pilot unit near ward 2 which if successful will be rolled out across the county later in the year.
Abingdon Community Hospital
The aim is to treat patients at or near home so they don’t loose their independence, and to reduce prolonged and expensive hospital admissions to the Oxford Radcliffe Hospital. The assessment unit operating from Abingdon Hospital allows specialist diagnosis in urgent cases to see whether care can continue from home, or from the community hospital, or the Oxford Radcliffe Hospital.

The obelisk is near to where the sheep market was held – and now the site of the war memorial. On the right is the Congregational Church erected in 1862 to replace an earlier Congregational Church building. It now houses Ask – a restaurant.

Inside the restaurant is a large reproduction of the ‘View West along Ock Street c 1875′ where you can pose for a 2011 digital photograph.

There were some comings and goings today at the County Hall where refurbishment work is to start soon. Some of the museum shop has been set up next to the Information Centre in Old Abbey House.

Plans for how exhibitions will look when the County Hall Museum reopens, and other services on offer, will be part of a public consultation meeting on 27th January at 7pm at the Guildhall.
