Hay Festival

The brochures have arrived!
Though it has been possible to book online for a while now.
Lots of good stuff, as usual - most expensive seems to be Desmond Tutu at £50 a ticket! And there's a learn to knit workshop that costs £10. Other events are more reasonably priced, though (and I'm sure Desmond Tutu will be worth the money). The Chief Rabbi and Archbishop Rowan Williams will be there too - he's talking about Dostoevsky. And Tibetan monks, who will be dancing and chanting.
There's a full children's programme, including our own Jenny Valentine, and lots of other good children's authors. Alex Valentine will be singing, too, and Father Richard (and choir) will be playing the organ at Llanigon church.
As usual there will be a shuttle bus around town, this year sponsered by Booth's Books, and a Sky Shuttle bus for the surrounding villages, which should make car parking a little bit easier. There will be extra bus services to Brecon and Hereford, too.

Let's hope the weather is better than last year!
