Last night the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, and Desmond Tutu attended service in St Mary's church.
We arrive late. Very late. We are ushered through to the front pew marked "reserved" along with some other late-comers.
Afterwards a Catholic priest asks who we are. (Folk think we are celebrities from the Hay Festival.)
"Sorry, we are just late-comers!"
The priest is disappointed.
The Archbishop - who was a mere 5 yards from me - spoke about love and the power of healing. Afterwards I joined the queue to shake his hand.
You just never know what is going to happen at Hay next....
