A nice sunset, pretty colours and interesting clouds. Tomorrow morning, it starts off sunny. Then the showers get going and some of them will be heavy and possibly thundery. Goodbye.

Now on bbc news talking books. Welcome to hay festival, now celebrating its 30th year. Hay brings together scientists, historians, novelists, musicians, all of them here to discuss their latest ideas and stories. Today im interviewing the multi Award Winning author elizabeth strout. Her six novels, all of them have received critical acclaim, but it was Olive Kitteridge that received the prestigious pulitzer prize.

And i was struck by that comment because here we are almost at the second anniversary of john rehms death, and i find myself missing him even more now. I think in that immediate aftermath of the death one is i was so busy readjusting my life and so busy with so many things that i threw myself into work. And as elmer cliff says in the book, i ran as hard as i i could from grief. Just trying to keep busy. So i think now that we are where we are in the timeline, i really do believe i am allowing myself to the feel the grief and his absence even more now. And that, of course, it brings you to being on your own. And now that youre on your own, a couple of questions. Again, i asked you about your saturdays, but i also and before we speak to the audience want to ask you because youve been such an advocate for books and authors and reading about what you are reading now.
