The
Life in Hay blog is always informative and interesting about events in the famous bookshop town. If you want to know about bookshops and other shops opening and closing, markets, concerts, local characters, this is the place to consult. It is run by writer 'Eigon', who also works in the Cinema Bookshop, the largest bookshop in the town, and the best for vintage fiction too, where I have had many unusual finds.
Eigon reports that the town has a dramatic new statue at the top of the car park, by sculptor Danny Thomas: the Hay Dragon. That should deter errant motorists from dodging the charges!
Naturally, as can be seen, the heraldic beast is a keen book-collector and is guarding, like most of us do, a tottering pile of volumes still to be read . . .
