Very civilised! Have just finished busking because of a downpour, which is a shame because it was going really well. Lots of people taking an interest and stopping for a chat. It&#8217;s my third busking trip and I&#8217;m really getting into it now. Went to Melton Mowbray last week with Steve Cartwright and that was really good as well.
