Thursday 31st March

Only 8 days to go and I'm still sorting out the fine detail. It is fun though, and takes my mind off GCSE Health and Social Care, Anger Management (mainly my own!), the strange noises coming from my car which surely mean it is about to fall to bits in a lonely place when I have forgotten to bring my mobile phone to work with me... 
BACK TO THE TRIP!!!

Thanks to Yvonne and Dave for lending me some of their families own-brand of Dubbin to try out
The pot is lovely and I'm sure the dubbin will keep out the scottish water!

I have been thinking hard about what to take with me to keep my boots waterproof, and will go with tried and tested dubbin. Thanks for the interest shown in my adventure by members of staff, and particularly to Yvonne for kindly lending me some very special dubbin which is part of her family history. I have applied one coat already and it feels really thick and nourishing. In fact I almost ate some.

A big fire in the market square Salisbury has caused lots of damage...
My shopping trip - and search for GORP - was not possible as access to Julian Graves was blocked.

My shopping trip was curtailed by the closure of several areas in Salisbury Town Centre due to a large fire in two of the oldest buildings in town. Unfortunately large-scale damage was done.
