Its a week over 10 years since I enjoyed an evening with Peter and Bridget in Kaneen Manchester. We'd been watching the walks at the Commonwealth Games on Salford Quays and we moved to Piccadilly Gardens in the Centre of Manchester to watch Paula Radclffe's 5000 metre win on the big screen - watching events on the big screen was simple in those days. You turned up, you say down and you watched. But more of that another day.
Our enjoyable evening 10 years ago was somewhat spoiled when Peter and Bridget missed the train, and perhaps the boat too (or did they have to switch from Liverpool to Heysham?).
Neither party reckoned on a reunion today. We were as surprised as each other to meet on the Mall when watching the Olympic 50km walk.
I spent four hours of a wonderful 24 hours in their company. Its worth double clicking this photo to see a double take.
