Book Fair and Sundial

 The PBFA Book Fair was in the Castle yesterday - a lovely collection of old and rare books from dealers who had come from all over the country to take part.  

I was almost afraid to touch one exhibit - I have no idea what the dealer was asking for it, but it was a handwritten notebook with a map, and I think it was notes for one of Wainwright's walking books (the word Troutbeck was there on the page).

Meanwhile on the Castle lawn, there was a giant sundial!  


This is the Golden Valley Sundial, and it's just visiting Hay Castle for a few days.
It's also a ball game, and several children (and adults) were going round the circle throwing balls through the holes in the sculptures.
