Summer starts here


A very busy start to the summer at Cow & Ghost.
Luckily the sun has shone. Hopefully a sign of more to come.

We enjoyed a fantastic day trading at the Hay On Wye Literary festival yesterday. Trading as part of the annual Crafts and Collectable Market, it was a pleasure to be in the town. Live music, brilliant stalls on the square and streets and a superb feel good atmosphere.


We also spent the day at the show ground on Saturday. Saw our history heroine Dr Lucy Worsley speak about Jane Austen. Brilliant. Lucky enough to meet her afterwards. Much excitement at Cow & Ghost Towers.














The previous weekend was spent at the Glanusk Estate. We took the blanket and craft side of the business along to their Estate Fair and Open Garden. Wonderful event. Great welcome, and met some lovely people.


Wandering Hay On Wye in the sun, we came upon this wonderful stall selling vintage garden furniture. It made a great splash of colour on the old market square. We're old enough to remember a lot of the patterns first time round. Great trip down memory lane and recollections of summers past. They were wildly popular, and have to confess we invested ourselves, with thoughts of summers future.












In between this, we've been busy promoting our own fair in the summer. Lots of leaflets given out at events and passed on to local businesses who have been very supportive.


Lots of advertising in the pipeline, and delighted to say the first one has come out.


Please spread the word. Looking forward.
