It is and it isn't! Lots of book festivals take place in beautiful areas. I think it's more that Hay is set up for those couple of weeks, whereas other festivals take place in uni faculties, town halls, hotels etc. It's really unique. I've got withdrawal symptoms already!
If it is of any consolation: I miss that edge of Wales unceasingly and inconsolably! 🐉
I've never yet made it to the festival, mind: although I'm such an uncultured oik that I imagine that everyone would mistake me for the litter warden or likewise! "😄"
You mentioned you articulate yourself better/more coherently in writing but I'm sure I wasn't alone in thinking you were very clear and engaging on-stage. I really enjoyed it.

"There is something special about Hay..."
Could it be anything at all to do with the implausibly breathtaking scenery of the Welsh Borderlands, as evidenced by your fine photography here?
So, here is the deal: you keep writing and I will keep reading, Nicola! ☺️
Thank you for coming! Wasn’t entirely sure I was coherent but glad it made sense
