Main Street, Sunday July 26.
Mid morning, and the street is almost as busy as you will ever see. The Farmers’ Market is in full swing and 27 motor cycles have just pulled up.
It’s been a cold night, huge frost but now the sun is out, sky clear and blue. Snow on the mountains looks fresh and crisp, but without a breeze, the day is pleasant. I guess the air temperature was around 4 or 5 degrees when this was taken at 11 this morning.
The old BP has closed and is being renovated to re-open as a GAS station (Gasoline Alley Services). These pictures show the old BP site as the workmen moved in to remove the old tanks and pumps.

Now, the new tanks are in the ground. No doubt the pumps and signs will follow shortly and the old green and girl on the corner will reappear in orange and black.

This is just one of the many changes in Main Street, with the footpaths being remade, planter beds established and new plantings in the centre of the road to lift the street’s appearance, and to slow traffic.
