No Escape from the Olympics!

Yesterday, one of my colleagues met the mother of a member of the South African Olympic squad - the sole South African entry in the 470 sailing class.
Today, I met a tour guide who will be bringing a party of Spanish Olympians to Hay next week - they're going to be visiting Cardiff Castle, Brecon and Hay, and she was having a quick look round as she'd never been to Hay before.

Meanwhile, back in the Real World....

...or what passes for Real in Hay....

On the way back from London I went through Cheltenham and Gloucester on the bus, and saw signs along the way for the Olympic Torch Route. The Torch passed through Cheltenham today, and will be going through Gloucester tomorrow - and on Friday someone from Hay will be carrying the torch! Hay TV will be there to film it.
