Diary Entry Penny Lane I had just arrived at Paul’s house his father invited me for dinner. We were trying to think of a song idea because we have no ideas for a song. Ringo and George couldn’t come because they were busy. Paul and I were practising some songs in the bathroom with the door open because it sounded much better in there. Then Paul said why don’t we think of something that matters to us. So that’s how we thought of penny lane don’t want to give much spoilers so that’s all - John
