I met Richie this morning - not his normal, cheery self. Someone's been spreading malicious rumours about him and his wife Jackie, along the lines of:
"Well, that didn't last long, did it? You know she's gone and left him?"
She's actually gone on holiday, back to the States to visit her family.
When I saw her last, she was looking forward to the trip (and wondering if the metal pins in her leg would set off the airport security systems).
She was also looking forward to coming home to Hay, and Richie. After all, this is the man who carried her out of Mouse Castle woods when she broke her ankle. She reckoned that her first husband would have left her there!
She'll be back before the Festival.
