It's been a bad week in Hay for deaths.
At the beginning of the week a car crashed between Dorstone and Hay, and one of the passengers died. One of the ladies who comes to Stitch and Bitch said that her husband is a volunteer fireman, and his fire engine was first on the scene - and he knew the girl. It's quite a reminder of how many people a sudden death like that can affect.
And this evening I passed by Chris Gibbons' butcher's shop to see a note in the window, saying that Chris Gibbons died last night. He'd been suffering from cancer. He'll be sadly missed from Hay.

About Me
- Eigon
- Hay is a fascinating town - but there's more to it than bookshops! I like to take a look behind the scenes, at what the locals are doing. I also maintain the Fairtrade Hay blog, and Morwenna's Tower, a blog about my writing and other interests.

That is so very sad. He was such a lovely man. My heart goes out to his family.

The crash is on the front page of the B&R this week - the driver of the car has been arrested (and released on bail) for dangerous driving. The dead girl is Katherine Jones, and her parents run the chemist's shop and RM Jones farming supplies.
