Hello

Halloween and Bonfire Night events are spread around in the next couple of weeks, so combined with half term it's worth checking them out - we have a summary of what's on in the area.

It's also time to be thinking about booking that Christmas get together - whether just 2 of you for dinner, or a minibus full of friends or colleagues. We'll give you a round up of what's on offer once November 5th is out of the way!

Do send me details of any events you'd like published.

All the best,
Helen

Hodsons Estate Agents

For Estate Agents with an excellent reputation in Abingdon and Oxfordshire, contact Hodsons Estate Agents - we get results! We are an established, independent firm of estate agents and have a wide knowledge of the area, the market and individual houses. Trusted and successful, our service is second to none.


I was never going to use anyone other than Hodsons Estate Agents when it came time to sell my home because I used their letting department for years previously. As letting agents before they sold that division, they were honest and lived up to all their promises, looking after my property with the same care as I would. I listed my home for sale at the worse time of year (December) and well before the end of January it was sold. Hodsons know their market, I have known others who also recommended them and I would not hesitate to recommend them myself. A pleasure to work with them.

The Shoe Shop of Abingdon

The Shoe Shop of Abingdon stocks a host of fashionable, wide fitting and comfortable shoes for both men and women. Highly recommended by our customers, our expert advice will see you equipped with the very best footwear. We also stock a range of fashion bags and accessories - Radley, Tula and The Old Bag Company are some of the favourites.


I understand the no return policy at the shoe shop, as it is an independent shop which can't just throw money away but its ok they sell lots of other bits as well if you have to return a pair of shoes previously brought. You get your money back but in the form of a credit note which is ok, you can use it to buy a purse for a christmas present or birthday present, your money is not wasted as you would be spending money with them still so you will still be able to support an independent business. Brilliant shop I have brought many presents and handbags from here, I would buy my shoes too, but they don't stock my size as my feet are too big!!
