Nice one Ray.

Pictures of modern day Farnham?

There are a couple of characters who seem to have taken up permanent residence in doorways lately.

I have deep sympathy for the homeless as I know how easily any of us could land in that predicament.

I feel terrible when I question myself regarding the genuine status of some of those I have seen in Farnham. I have taken time to talk to them in order to dispel my cynicism. Alas, in some cases my sense of uncertainty has not been diminished.
