Fame!

Yesterday a Sky film crew, led by Emma, came to take some footage of the Cinema Bookshop and film an interview with "Gabby from the Telegraph" for the Hay Festival. I was supposed to liase with them, according to Deb, "because you are so interesting"! In the event, there wasn't much I needed to do apart from be nice to them, and sign a release form when they filmed me serving a customer.

No sooner had they left than the phone rang. It was BBC Hereford and Worcester, the local radio station, and they wanted to speak to someone. I got the phone handed to me. Apparently, Google Maps have done a survey of the best shopping streets in the country and Castle Street in Hay is in the top 20! So a nice man called Rupert wanted to interview someone from a business in Castle Street to find out what's so special about it, and clips from the interview are being played today on the news bulletins! So that was all great fun!

I saw Stuart the Greengrocer today, and he's been interviewed too. He says that, of the top twenty streets, none of them is in London, and only one, Castle Street, is in Wales. Maybe it's time for the Western Mail to run a feature on the top twenty shopping streets in Wales!

There is another one in Wales, in Narberth.
