Getting Ready for the Festival

So the bookshop windows are being cleared to put out books by Festival authors, there's an art exhibition at Tinto House and another in one of the empty shops, stalls are going up in the Honesty Gardens, the Fair on the Square will be happening again, and the Hourglass Gallery has been painted green.
Meanwhile at the Globe, a neighbour saw a group of people manhandling a gypsy caravan up the sloping path past the front of the Globe and into the little meadow at the side of it - and this morning Emma Balch came into the Cinema Bookshop to buy some books on the British Army to put in her display for the play Unicorns, Almost. One of them was a history of the Sherwood Foresters Yeomanry by Jonathan Hunt. Their nickname was the Unicorns because of their badge, and the author will be coming to Hay to see the play.
