Diary Of A Busker Day 391

Diary Of A Busker Day 391 Monday June 24th Winchester High Street (Opposite Bellis, Time: 2:23-3:23pm). I bump into street cleaner Alan, out and about with his McDonalds cart.

Diary Of A Busker Day 344

Diary Of A Busker Day 344 Thursday March 28th 2013 Winchester High Street, opposite Vodafone. Time: 3-4:20pm At The Buttercross, there’s the same bunch of young people, or students, that were annoying me a few weeks ago.
