Today we went to HAY-ON-WYE, a little town whose northern and eastern boundaries border England with Wales. The first second-hand book shop was opened in 1961 by Richard Booth and he pursued his dream "to create the largest second-hand and antiquarian book-selling centre in the world."
There are over 30 book shops in this little town!
You have heard of JOE THE PLUMBER? Well, Hay has PHIL THE FRUIT!
As we walked back to the car Park, I snapped this photo of Tom and Bonnie and their purchases. Of course, I did not purchase any used books! NOT!
The scenery is spectacular - even from the car park, where I took this photo!
