Three people I know in the B&R this week, with pictures!
On the front page, Kate Freeman is pictured with some of her art work, as she prepares to be the artist-in-residence at Glasbury Arts again this year. She'll be running several workshops.
On page 3 is the latest news on the departure of Ken Smith as Hay Town Cryer. It seems there have been three applicants for his job, two male and one female, and the Town Council are considering how best to choose between them. It could include a 'cry off' to see which one is best. As Lesley Moore at the Council offices says - Ken is going to be a hard act to follow.
On the Arts pages, Jo Eliot is posing with a film poster (Rebecca) as she is interviewed about her life - she was the driving force behind the Film Festival in Hay.
We've also got Gurkhas parading and dancing through the streets of Brecon, and a Sergeant of the Parachute Regiment doing a sponsored walk dressed as a Roman soldier in authentic, heavy, armour.
A lady of 83 who had a stroke that paralysed her right side ten years ago has just won a prize for her embroidery - she taught herself to embroider with her left hand, with the help of the carers at the old people's home she now lives in.
And Dewi Bowen remembers the war years, with an excellent drawing of a Whitley bomber skimming over the keep of Morlais Castle, which he drew in 1942 - he grew up to be a renowned illustrator.
It may not be earth-shattering news, but it's what keeps a community together.

As many times as I've been to Hay, I've never seen the Town Crier!
Sad to say.
