No sooner have I said that I haven't seen any of the leaflets for the Hay Festival Winter Weekend, than they appear all over town!
So, at the same time as Nepal Bazaar are having their fashion show, Screen at Hay are showing Persepolis in the Parish Hall, and the Morriston Phoenix Choir are singing at the Community Centre.
Libby Purves and Rosie Boycott are at the Community Centre on the Saturday, and the winner of the Hay short story competition will read her story Roadside Tapestry. Marcus Brigstocke and Andre Vincent will be performing too - and around town shops are going to be holding a Happy Hour with festival discounts, there will be Festival merchandise in the Buttermarket and a nearly-new clothes sale in the Parish Hall in aid of Hay & District Community Support.
On Sunday I'm afraid it's a lot of people I've never heard of, but one event is subtitled Ten Technologies to Save the Planet, there's an interview with a soldier who has been stationed in Afghanistan and wrote a book about it (An Ordinary Soldier) and a jockey who has ridden Red Rum and Shergar. Something for everyone, as they say - and a two day workshop for children based on the Borrowers.
