Diary Of A Busker Day 2514 Thursday March 27th 2025 Winchester.   There’s a young woman with a saxophone at the top spot, The Square’s deserted so no point in setting up there…no one at the crossroads but too late to set up as they’ll be putting the bins out soon…I get off the bike in front of the new… Read more →
