Hay

Festival. And a 'transport' theme set by the magnificent Alsacienne. 

A witty and erudite talk on mediaeval manuscripts by Christopher de Hamel, who dedicated my copy of "Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts" to my late uncle Peter C. whose trajectory of Sotheby's and Cambridge matched his own. 

And of course, ice cream and coffee at Shepherd's.

The armed police looked a little bemused as they patrolled the Hay crowd. Thank you for keeping us safe from those who feel threatened by a Book of Hours.
