Stroll down Charing Cross Road and bit of a wander in Soho, always alive day and night. Visit Gerry's Wines and Spirits in Old Compton Street. A fascinating collection, reasonably competitive with importing from France. Samples of rum from a very knowledgeable Asian girl. Then the more mundane purchases along Camden High Street. Home along Queensway. There's an oldish busker sitting on the pavement playing a long instrument that looks rather like a straight Alpine horn. Not perhaps the ideal solo instrument for attracting donations, but needs must.
