PHOTO BLOG: Poetry at the Clocktower


We had a lovely day of poetry outside the Poetry Bookshop in Hay today and it stayed mostly dry too! 
Here’s me telling the audience some things about Bert (Roberto Pastore). Thanks Sian Lile-Pastore for the photo.


And the rest of the photos as promised...


Imogen Davies, Richard Davies, Niall Griffiths, Nigel Jarrett and Ifor Thomas took the early spots... (thanks to Christina and Ifor for these photos...)
