Something Happening on the Pavement

Rumours have been going round about what's going to happen to the empty shop on the Pavement, which used to be the lower part of the Bookshop on the corner at the top of the hill.
Phil the Fruit told me that he'd been told that the new shop would be something that Hay doesn't have at the moment - so that ruled out antique shop, which had been the first guess.
Then the scaffolding went up to renovate the outside of the building, and painters and decorators were seen inside.
The next rumour was that it was going to be a wine merchant's.
After that, there was no activity going on that anyone passing could see, and the rumour was that the deal had fallen through.

Well, now the painters are back, and so it a little sign on the window - some definite news at last!

Veronica Guest is going to be exhibiting her watercolours there between 1st and 19th December. From the poster, the pictures look rather good.

Looks like Veronica Guest's exhibition is a very temporary event. I was hoping there would be a gallery in the shop but tonight there's a McCartney's TO LET sign on the window.
