Hay's second doll's house shop has moved, but only round the corner. Little Houses is no longer in the little shop to the side of the Blue Boar on Oxford Street, and is now in Castle Street, in the shop that used to be Edward Foreman's bookshop.
Edward doesn't have a shop in Hay any more. I haven't been up to Builth Wells for a few years, but he may still have his Emporium there. However, despite his recent serious illness, he has kept up his parcel service. He or his wife come round the bookshops twice a week to collect parcels for a service that is quicker and cheaper than the Royal Mail for certain heavy parcels, usually going overseas. Its a good way for Edward to keep in touch with people in Hay, too.
When Edward gave up the shop in Castle Street, it became an art gallery for a while, but it will be nice to see the building used as a proper shop again.
Meanwhile, The Crown is shutting for re-furbishment for a couple of weeks, and re-opening on Tuesday 13th March.
