Hay's unmissable (if you can get there…)
Britain's foremost literary festival kicked off this weekend with literary stars serving up something for every taste
Full online coverage of the Guardian Hay festival
To Hay, for the day, they say. Wey hey. Hay on Wye on Earth would I want that? As travel plans go, a festering nightmare. Leave Rotherhithe at 6am, somehow be back in London for important thing by seven in the evening after filing by three, gives me, ooh, 12 minutes tops at the literary delight I've never been to. But I'm very glad, indeed, that I did it: partly because I got to see a lot, a lot, of Wales, but mainly for the serendipity.
