Day 2648 Wednesday January 28th 2026 Winchester There’s a young white girl singer at the Buttercross and a slightly older and very loud black guy singing near M&S which means I can’t set up anywhere in the high street so it’ll have to be up at The Square, which is pretty well deserted.

Day 2643 Sunday January 20th 2026 Winchester Rockin’ Rob and his famous skeleton drummer (looking a little worse for wear these days) are at the top spot but there’s no one around the corner at my traditional Sunday spot in The Square. Well, there’s no one playing but the Veteran Cycle Club are there with around ten bikes on show.… Read more →
