I met Haydn while I was taking Islay for a walk the other day, and he had news of the next Hay-on-Fire. The theme this year will be dragons - and he said he's looking forward to seeing me in my knightly gear!
As a historical re-enactor, I have various costumes, including full warrior's kit - chainmail, nasal helm (like the Normans in the Bayeaux Tapestry), and sword. Haydn has organised a World Conker Championship at the Buttermarket for the past few years, and he did ask me to turn up as Wiliam the Conker-er last year. Sadly, I was already booked for another show elsewhere - but this year I might be able to make it.
I headed down to the bottom of the car park then - and came upon a baby hedgehog, not quite as long as my hand. It kept very still indeed while Islay sniffed it, but when she wandered off, it plucked up the courage to scuttle away under the hedge.
