Day 2448

Diary Of A Busker Day 2448 Friday October 4th 2024 Winchester.   An early start but not early enough to beat The Two Henrys to the top spot. Young Henry says ‘I like your outfit.’ ‘Outfit?’ ‘Yeah, you look like a spy!’ ‘Do I?’ I suppose I do, with black trousers, black trenchcoat, black leather gloves and dark sunglasses. ‘Oh… Read more →

Day 2444

Diary Of A Busker Day 2444 Saturday September 21st 2024 Winchester.   A busy Saturday afternoon and the Buttercross is taken so I’m through the alley and into The Square in no time at all.  It had stopped raining an hour before but the pavement’s still damp so I’ll have to give the back of the case a good clean… Read more →

He was applying tiny strokes of pink to the face of a man sitting on the Buttercross. I set up and started up…and ten minutes later, yes it’s Claire. I’m starting to think she’s got some… Read more →

Day 2440

Diary Of A Busker Day 2440 Sunday September 15th 2024 Winchester.   I thought I’d bring in the double-neck as I’d given it a rest for a couple of weeks. I also thought I’d give the shop people around The Buttercross a rest…from ME! I mean, I’ve done some pretty long sessions there lately, and on consecutive days. Fortunately, The… Read more →
