Lovely clouds over London Bridge this morning…

Just passing… would be rude not to pop in for a coffee!

Attic find #3 - Apple Newton MessagePad. Still works… and the handwriting recognition is spot on!

[Jim Booth @StructEngJim]

Perfect retreat from the pouring rain in Guildford!

Attic find #2 - My grandfather’s vintage resistor colour code calculator. Cleaned up nicely!

Do you know the story of Rochester Bridge in Times of Conflict? There are just two open days left this year to visit our Bridge Chapel and Chamber, view the exhibition and watch an animated film telling this story.
Doors open 11am-4pm today and Saturday.

Here’s a little bridge I had some involvement with (many, many years ago) - St Saviour’s Dock.

Early morning stroll past these quaint little bridges in St Katherine’s Dock…

Great day in St Alban’s which completes my mission to visit all 26 medieval cathedrals in England! Took a bit longer than expected but what a journey - got to meet some wonderful folk along the way.

Arrived…

On route to a business meeting… and couldn’t resist taking this photo of Kingston Bridge.

Sunset over the world's oldest seaside pier - beautiful!

On my way to meet some like-minded people… #BridgeStation

In what seems like a never-ending quest to visit all medieval cathedrals in England (thanks ST!), I can now put a tick against Southwark… only Hereford and St Albans to go.

Bridge failure! Someone recently told me I need a hobby, so I dusted down my old Epiphone Hummingbird only to find the bridge has failed. So here I am trying to work out the string tension… once an engineer, always an engineer!
