On Tuesday I wrote a post explaining that I will miss the Festival  for the first time in over a decade.   Making Hay was alas on the back-burner for 2013.   However I’m delighted to reveal that a fellow blogger, I will call her Jill, for that’s her name, has stepped in and will be at the Hay Festival for the the whole ten days.

There is a possibility that we’ll also have a junior scribe reporting on Hay Fever events for the first time.  Stay tuned for more on that.

If there are other bloggers on their way to Hay and you’d like to report of the events that you attend get in touch MakingHay@rocketmail.com or @Making_Hay on Twitter.
