Diary Of A Busker Day 472 Wednesday November 13th 2013 Winchester (Opposite Vodafone, Time: 2:40-4:40pm.) I’d been there only five minutes when who should turn up but Shirley and Eric, in a wheelchair (Eric, not Shirley).

Diary Of A Busker Day 468
Diary Of A Busker Day 468 Tuesday November 5th 2013 Winchester (Opposite Bellis/O2, Time: 2:25-3:55pm). Octogenarian Ian – a good name – maybe I should call him that from now on!
