    Welcome

    www.oxtowns.co.uk/abingdon

    Not the best link but you get the idea. Abingdon/Oxforshire is a great place to be, not far from most places. Google will give you more ideas.

    Welcome to the site - never been to Abingdon, so can't help there sorry, but if you have been in Germany 5 years you might be able to add to the stuff to do thread on the Germany forum (If you have any ideas).

    im in manor gardens too. what a small world. I think i saw you move in.

    You will probably see me walking past your window about 6 times a day taking my kids too and from school.

    im liking it but am finding it quite hard to meet people as its not like any married patch ive lived on before. we are surrounded by civvys.

    We are moving to Abingdon in August does anyonknow where else you can get MQ's other than Shippon, Didcot, Grove and Wantage and what they are like? we need to put down where we wnat to be, DH is from the south so we don't have to be actually IN Abingdon!

    Cheers

    Welcome newbies.
    I know there is another RP-er in Abingdon, when she's back online I'll see if she can shed any light.

    There's a good school in Wantage, and it's right on the Ridgeway. Grove's a nice village too but I only know them from a civvie perspective, sorry!

    Shippon (Cherry tree drive or Laburnham close) is best if you get the nice end (away from the families office and amigo shop, too many scrotes ahnging around them places) and it's close to schools.
