Comments on: Hay Ho http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/hay-ho/ Welcome to the home of Beta Mum - who lacks the lifestyle and perfectionist tendencies of Alpha Mummy, but rubs along pretty well most of the time Sun, 29 Jan 2012 03:45:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mutterings & Meanderings http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/hay-ho/#comment-321 Mutterings & Meanderings Fri, 01 Jun 2007 21:52:20 +0000 http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/hay-ho/#comment-321 I love the Malverns. I spent two summers in the area when I was a student, picking strawberries. We were in the triangle twixt Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire at a farm at the foot of the hills on the Herefordshire side. Went to Hay often, but never while the festival was on, unfortunately. I love the Malverns. I spent two summers in the area when I was a student, picking strawberries.

Sorry the festival proved disappointing in some ways. Great though that Ben and Hannah wrote a poem and story. Sounds like you did get a lot out of it, despite being minus one. We're hoping to manage something, goodness knows what exactly, at the Edinburgh Book Festival. I'll bear in mind all you say about literary festivals. And by the way, when I went to university, (to study English) I had exactly the same experience you describe. Like your posting’s title! Sorry the festival proved disappointing in some ways.

Despite the events laid on for them. Probably because it necessitates too much concentration for parents. Yes, I have found that children and literary festivals in general do not mix.

I, too, had always wanted to go. Perhaps taking the children was an error, especially without Mike. And it wasn't just that the grandparents were there, it was at their house, and their oven door!

And it wasn’t just that the grandparents were there, it was at their house, and their oven door!

Holy Hannah! I am disappointed to hear the bad review of Hay. I have always wanted to go there - all those books, but something always came up. Perhaps for the best?
