We're not just a village in the middle of the Welsh Borders - Hay has direct links all over the world.
I was reminded of that when Jackie was so excited about the American election - not only is she a real, live, American, but she comes from Illinois, the same state where Obama is senator.
Then Chris the Bookbinder asked me if I knew anyone who would like to put on a puppet show. A few months ago, the Brazilian lad - who helped to organised the Hay Castle part of the Hay Festival - went back to Brazil because his father was ill. Now he wants to come back to the UK, and his visa has been refused. If someone wanted to see the puppet show he was involved in, though, it would be a valid reason for him to be allowed back. He only had a couple of weeks to appeal the decision, though - and that may not be enough for his friends to organise anything.
