A Day in the Life of....

The B&R do a weekly column on a day in the life of a local personality. These can be fascinating - there was a very good one on the life of a chap who looks after a local Quaker Meeting House, for instance.
This week, the local personality is Huw Parsons, who wrote Planet Hay and A Brecon Revealed, and took all the photos to illustrate the books. He talks about getting a letter from Prince Charles' private secretary after he sent a copy of his book to the Prince. He was very pleased about it, until a friend told him about a lady with learning difficulties who regularly wrote to the Queen, and got polite letters back.
He's also proof reading Letters From Ontopof Abroad, by Richie Gardiner, whose wife has the blog/website Hazelbell's World (where he's known as supercrew). It's the story of how he and Jackie got together, and his thoughts about the States when he went over there. So there's another talented local person!
