Relocation of our Farmers' Market.

Armidale has no less than 3 farmers' markets a month and one of those was today. However, for the first time the markets shifted about 100 m west from Curtis Park to Civic Park. The reason for the move was simple. Part of the former location is now the site of a new children's play area which is under construction.

Well, the new site has twice the space with ample room to enlarge the event. However, due to the impact of COVID-19 the number of stalls / vendors has shrunk in recent months so we had a bit of spare space today. But due to the ultra-warm weather for the start of August many people turned up to inspect the site and many stalls seemed to be doing quite well. I purchased some Portuguese tarts and French-style pastries for Dot and me and I also stocked up on some bottles of delicious Kombucha produced locally. I like to visit these markets regularly to help local producers

I also took several pictures like these of the new spacious location. By the way, it was a gorgeous day. Despite an overnight frost (c. - 2 C) the morning rapidly warmed up to reach about 15 C at lunch-time and a maximum of c. 17 C (63 F). When did it last reach 63 F on a British winter's day? Blokes like me were wandering around in shorts!
