George the Town Cryer was at the Market yesterday, but he was ringing his bell so someone else could make a speech.
Nikki, the lady who has been running the Cheese Stall for forty years, is retiring, and yesterday was her last day on the Market. So John from the Chamber of Commerce (also mostly retired) made a speech thanking her for her long-standing contribution to the Market, including one week of deep snow (he had photos which he passed round) when hers was the only stall that turned up!
Hay will not be losing the Cheese Stall, though - the new people who are taking over from her are already in place and will be turning up as long as local people want to buy good cheese (and spices, and oatmeal, and other similar sundries).
