Mermaid on the Wye

 This afternoon, at 3pm, there will be a Mermaid under the bridge by the Bean Box, next to the River Wye.

Her name is Lyndsay Cole, and she is promoting her picture book for young children, The Mermaid and the Cow.  

When she was free-diving, she cut her hand on a piece of plastic, and this led to her raising awareness of the plastic problem in our rivers and seas by swimming the length of the River Thames - during which, she rescued a drowning cow!

Her visit to Hay is part of a tour she is doing up the River Wye.
