...so the Festival must have started!
I went down by the river this morning with Islay, and got my first good look at the swans and the latest batch of cygnets. There are six or seven of them - I'm not quite sure which because they kept bunched up together and bobbing about.
I've been finding out more about what's happening in town, as opposed to the Festival site, too.
The late night piano bar at Booth's Bookshop has some interestingly named cocktails on offer - I think my favourite is Master and Margarita, but the others are One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, One Hundred Years of Solitude (what could possibly go into that?), The Big Sleep and Casablanca.
Hay School are holding a series of evening concerts, too, all of them classical music from Castalia quartet and friends. All the proceeds of the concerts will go towards the Two Towns One World project, and every pound raised will release three more from the European Commission. The idea is to stimulate the partnership between Hay and similar groups in Timbuktu.
Jean Miller is opening up her home on Lion Street for an exhibition of her paintings.
In the Craft Centre, there will be busking on Saturday, and of course the Fair in the Square in the centre of town, together with stalls in the Honesty Gardens.
