Thursday: Hay-on-Wye
It’s a town full of books. Who can resist visiting an honesty bookshop or a castle converted into a bookshop?
I left early am by bus and arrived in a town that had books in every shop. Several made their way into my bag. An odd jumble of botany, cooking, fiction and more. I made various mental notes for what worked and didn’t for bookshops. Perhaps the one Mom and I would like to open some day will have been influenced by this visit.
There was also a lovely small farmer’s market. I picked up some gorgeous welsh cheeses.
All too soon is was time to head back to Cardiff. Important note: Always check the bus numbers as well as times. Almost missed the proper connection because I assumed that the buses I used to get to Hay would return me to Cardiff.
