It was a good day at Hay, though you could have been mistaken for thinking that it was October rather than May. We met up with friends for tea, did a spot of book-shopping in the Poetry Bookshop (a favourite haunt) and visited the CADW and academi stands.
We had tickets for John Toman on Kilvert's Diary - a very appropriate subject for Hay - and for the Housman Society Lecture. Lavinia Greenlaw (author of 'Minsk') gave a sparkling and erudite paper on the effect of poetry upon poet and reader, of which more soon.

Your photos capture the atmosphere (and the weather!) beautifully! Really enjoyed seeing you both. Not sure when I'll get around to blogging about Hay - have a bit of a blogging backlog! - so will relish your posts in the meantime...
