There were also attractive knitted, embroidered, sown and painted craft entries.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abingdonblog.co.uk\/imag13\/13090901.jpg\" alt=\"Abingdon Horticultural Society's Autumn Show\" \/><br \/>\nThe judges were very complimentary about the quality of the  wines in comparison with the general standard of home made wines they have experienced.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abingdonblog.co.uk\/imag13\/13090908.jpg\" alt=\"Abingdon Horticultural Society's Autumn Show\" \/><br \/>\nIan says <em>&#8220;If you like what you are reading, why not join us?
