Funny old day yesterday, got a load of work out of the way first of all, then went and had a pasty in the city of Salisbury. It’s a strange old City Salisbury; it is kind of where Central Southern England meets with The South West, a few parts of it are dire like Bracknell or Basingstoke, whilst others are quaint like Oxford or Bath.
