making Hay

Arriving at Hay

There is excitement at Schloss Marland; the Guardian Magazine is going to do an extract from the book, and so we're doing a photoshoot in Hay, next week. Richard is going to be airlifted in from France in the Random House Chinook, swooping majestically down from the Black Mountains; I shall putter up there in the Traveller, which can probably find its own way there by now...

Worrying about what to wear, now; Catherine advised me to go for smart rather than boho, and I nodded cautiously. And looked anxiously through the wardrobe... Richard will no doubt be wearing writer's stubble and a post-postmodern attitude. Easy for some...

What the heck. Boho is as boho does.

TodayAlan is starting his stint as poet-in-residence on the Herefordshire mobile libraries. Wave if you see one...

    Wow! Have I missed it? Can you bring a photocopy to the next Can Openers which I will do my bestest to attend.

    How did the photoshoot go?

    It was a bit quiet due to weather and rugby on telly, but we had a few nice visitors, but no-one, boo hoo, waved, even in a Sylvia Plath way!

  2. You've not missed it, Alan; it'll be April 12 or 19, apparently...
