The order of the day; take the train from Paddington to Didcot station meet with Alan and Ann and spend the day in Abingdon on Thames for lunch and a walk around the town.

Abingdon is one of several places that claim to 

be Britain's oldest  continuously occupied town, with [eople living there for at least 6,000 years.
