Front page news in the B&R today - the twinning committee has chosen Hay over Glastonbury and York as the twin town to Timuktu!
It was a UK photographer, Stuart Redler, who started the whole thing off, according to the paper, when he discovered that most people in the UK didn't know that Timbuktu was a real place. He said that the people of Hay seemed to have a greater understanding of what they could gain from the twinning process, particularly in cultural and educational links.
I hope this means that we get to hear more kora music - the griot who came over was brilliant.
