Interesting People

One of the nice things about living in Hay is meeting all sorts of interesting people.
Today, I sold a biography of Charles Darwin to a lady who was about to take a holiday of a lifetime in the Galapagos Islands. She was knocked off her bike by a car and broke her shoulder - and the compensation is paying for the holiday. As it was a once in a lifetime experience, she wanted to get the most out of it, so she was starting off by reading about Darwin's visit there.
In the evening, I got talking to a couple who are staying at Tinto House. They asked if I knew the owner. "Did you know that he paints his dreams?" the man asked me, "but he doesn't know much about the theory of dream interpretations."
