Winchester
Back to Winchester and it’s just as windy as it was in Southampton yesterday. I’m down at the crossroads and at one point the laminates attached to the case – there are three joined together, advertising the CDs and books – were blown off the case (mid song) and were making their way down Market Street. I carried on playing, watching helplessly because I really try not to stop playing for anything. I was grateful when an old woman retrieved them for me! ‘Oh thank you so much. It’s so windy, isn’t it?’ She smiled – ‘Oh, I know, I know!’
Slow coinage which was helped enormously when a man took a photo of the QR code, though I only found out later at home how much he’d donated – £20, which shot the total up to £28.72!
I did an hour and a half. I cut it short because I wanted to get home in time to say goodbye to Chris, who’s off to Thailand to join his wife. He’d lived next door for almost all of his 68 years!
