I hope you'd find me a very open minded, well travelled, friendly soul, with a good sense of humour on life. Infact I just love life, and love people even more, which is why I studied as a post grad in visual anthropology. I feel very lucky to have filmed and travelled for the BBC around the world for 18 years, meeting people far and wide. I hope my home, offered to you, reflects my creative, authentic taste, in this case of welsh/english culture (we live on the border of both) aswell as parts being wall papered in books- well we are a world famous book town! I also hope it reflects my relationships with my community (there are some fun welsh ancestral portaits and gilded frames of the English on the walls) as well as a welcome DVD that tells the story of this fabulously unique town that I filmed over a year and introduces you to characters you'll bump into in the street. Sure to enhance your experience of Hay! Before Hay I worked as a human rights film director for the BBC and won many international awards but Hay is my solice and retreat and I hope it can be for you too- time to be inspired, and pause at the same time, with a book in hand infront of the fire.

We are in the heart of town, next to wonderful independent shops, cafes, bars, pubs, an art cinema, and of course the towns famous 39 bookshops! We are on the Wye river, great for fishing and canoeing. We have a wonderful selection of circular walks from town, and dazzling mountains on our doorstep for walking, horse riding, and biking. Everyone knows everyone, so it is a friendly, safe, characterful town where you'll feel you belong almost immediately and always leave wanting to return.
