The Greenmarket is shutting!

But at least it's only temporary. Eldon Square is apparently getting renovated so they have to shut the Greenmarket while they do this.

I haven't actually shopped here in years - maybe the odd bunch of flowers, or grabbing a pastie from the Greggs upstairs, but it's still weird when somewhere you used to get dragged on an almost weekly basis closes.
