2024 LWT Ex-Engineers Christmas reunion at the Rose and Crown, Colombo Street, London SE1
This happy reunion was like a lunch break in the middle of an outside broadcast back in the Eighties. I joined London Weekend Television in July 1977. Our appearances have aged but the voices are hauntingly familiar. We have our individual memories but the warmth from those far-off days unites us; working for LWT gave us some of the best working days of our lives, doing the engineering for one of television’s golden eras. They’ve always been older than me but this time round there weren’t any “leavers” to note, at least not from our group of outside broadcasts and radio links engineers.
So many memories to think over as I walked the familiar route back to Embankment station.
Cheers!
Not as glamorous as a run on the French Riviera but a fast sports walk on the Thames Path, there and back to buy bread from the small-scale bakers in Barnes. Lots of newbie rowers out on the river as well as some frighteningly fast Eights.
Full blue sky and sunshine when we arrived here in Menton on the Côte d’Azur, I enjoyed a short run on the beach front at Garavan to the frontier with Italy. A pleasure to run with sun on my face, moderate air temperature and watching the sun setting over the Mediterranean.
Bad weather around Madeira cancelled my flight to Funchal today. I’d been looking forward to enjoying a post-flight relaxation run amongst the sub-tropical gardens at the Lido there. Instead, a morning still at Heathrow Terminal 5 sorting out the refunds.

“No pain - no grain”: run to the Parish Bakery in Barnes to bag fresh bread for the weekend. Muddy trackies because I took a roll in the mud avoiding a pure-bred dog out for walkies with crusty owner. Anyhow my loaf was well-raised and proved delicious for breakfast. No serious pain from running 6.3 km though I did loaf around for the rest of the morning.
Le pain quotidien (meaning daily bread) is the name of a French chain of boulangeries.
