10 Days to go before Christmas..

Ten days to go before Christmas and The Nursery Shop is a centre of buzzing activity, with even yours truly being released from the back room to help serve customers and replenish the shop floor with toys, gifts and clothes.
I know one lucky boy, or girl, will be receiving one of my favourite toys from the shop. The Pintoy red fire engine has been a long time favourite, especially at Christmas time: A well made traditional wooden fire engine toy.
There always seems to be something more tactile and pleasing about wooden toys.

Christmas Greetings.

Our web guy, yours truly, got himself an early Christmas present. No not one of the great range of toys and gifts from The Nursery Shop but some animation software.

So to all our visitors, customers and friends you may like to visit The Nursery Shop website for a little animation that we hope brings a smile and a little joy.

Abingdons Christmas Extravaganza

This year the turning on of the Christmas lights was on Tuesday 30th November, and the theme was pirates. A good choice by the town as The Nursery Shop has a wide selection of pirate related toys, Christmas gifts and stocking fillers. Such as the Pirate Wibbly Wobbly Acrobat as an ideal stocking filler , the Captain Hook Tell-a-tale puppets and of course a pirate costume for 3 to 6 year olds.

Unfortunately yours truly was overseas for that week and forgot to ask someone to take photos. In loo of a picture of the Abingdon extravaganza I have included a picture I took last night outside the town hall.

By all accounts though it was a huge successful evening and considering the winter weather the people of Abingdon still came out in force to support and join in with the towns celebration.

Now with 18 days until Christmas I'm asking the question if we are going to have a White Christmas?
