| Hi Everyone Here's a roundup of my Festival The Circus livened things up on the first Friday
The very interesting Allan de Botton and Jerry Hall
Hay Market square also had some entertainment
Relaxing at the festival
John Snow having a rest
You can't beat a queue
Robert Winston is a very wise man indeed and ploughs a lot of his income back into science, He also sits comfortably in his chair
Jo Brand
Monty Don and Simon Schama
Renowned Welsh historian John Davies, he was once compiling a book on Wales and nearly used a picture of Aberystwyth, Australia!
The very talented Tim Quinn who has written Dennis the Menace and Spiderman
There was a picture of taken Tim when he was eight reading this magazine, Years later when he was communicating with his future wife he sent the picture of him as a youngster to her, When they got married she had blown up the picture and framed it, a few years later they were in a US second hand comic shop, he had a look for this magazine and found three copies, he bought the reasonably priced good copy, he took it home and when he removed it from the plastic bag he wondered if he would have the same contented look on his face as when he was eight, to his amazement it was his magazine with his name written in it, he has no idea how it got from his home in Liverpool to the US after all those years.
The Wiggly Wigglers garden
Wood you believe it?
