More Snow

One of the advantages of living in south Abingdon and working in north Abingdon is the walk to work can be very picturesque after heavy snow and the rivers are at their finest.

And the view of St. Helens Wharf  from Burford Bridge is the classic Abingdon Christmas card scene.

  1. We've been hearing lots of news about the terrible snow in Britain and Europe. It's nice to see these beautiful photos!

  2. Thank you very much for your kind words. Interesting that it made it to the US news. Last Saturday was awful but it's now starting to thaw

  4. Hi Maggie,
    Welcome back, the Thames has frozen, possibly for the first time in 30 years, I don't have any photos. But thankfully there are some on the Abingdon Blog: http://www.abingdonblog.co.uk/?p=2361
