I've spent a lovely few days away with the Hay Traveller's Club, and a few days (mainly watching a marathon session of Game of Thrones!) with my Young Man, and now I am refreshed and ready to get back to Life in Hay.
We did manage to catch the tail end of the Hay Community Fair at the Castle yesterday. There was someone still singing in one tent, and Rob Soldat had been storytelling in another. The Fairtrade group were just packing up, and press ganged Mark into helping load the car. The man who sells gorgeous bread on the Thursday market was there - he said he'd sold out of one lot of bread and what we could see on the stall was the second lot he'd brought down. Next to him there were local vegetables of various sorts. The Lions were there, too, and Gareth Ratcliffe was handing out leaflets for Summerhill Golf Club (they have a website on www.hayonwyegolf.co.uk).
Tomorrow evening I'll be up at the Council Chambers, finding out what's going on again.

I've been chatting to a few people round town who went to the Community Fair. One of them said: "I thought the Warren Club was a closed shop - but now I might become a member!" John Evans of the Chamber of Commerce was able to explain about the money they give out to local good causes to people who had no idea that they did that, too. So the event was really useful in getting people to talk about what their groups do and raising awareness.
