About the host
Hosted by Andy Dix
I am a furniture designer and maker by trade and I have taken the opportunity to furnish my holiday home with various pieces of my own work. I also enjoy cycling in the fabulous countryside that surrounds Hay-on-Wye, both off road and on the quiet country lanes.
During the warmer months my family and I spend a lot of time in and around the river Wye which is just a short walk from home.
