From Little Plant Stalls....

Llanwrtyd Wells are about to start having a Tuesday Market.
What does this have to do with Hay? Well, for some time now, Jerry Monks, of Hancock and Monks music shop (found in Broad Street Book Centre) has been bringing plants along with him to display outside the shop when he spends a day at the desk.
It seems he hasn't only been selling plants in Hay. He lives in Llanwrtyd Wells, and he's started to have a plant stall on Tuesdays there, next to the mobile Post Office. This has done so well that other traders are about to join him - in fact, they held their first full market on 3rd November. According to the Free Flyer, there has been interest from local meat and egg producers and a baker, and other local traders are invited to join them in the Belle-Vue Hotel car park.
Well done, Jerry! Stimulating the local economy!
