BACK IN ACTION: The queue stretched up Stout Street this morning as shoppers keen to enjoy the fruits — and vegetables — available at the Gisborne Farmers’ Market waited patiently to enter. Anne Whiteman hands back a contact-tracing schedule to Hine Campbell before stepping into the market. A one-way system was operating. The market has been on hold since the Covid-19 lockdown began at the end of March, although many of the suppliers took the opportunity to set up online. On its first day back, the market and shoppers enjoyed a crisp but clear late autumn day to re-acquaint themselves with their favourite stalls. Picture by Paul Rickard
