A lovely surprise today when my old boss at the BBC and now firm friend Steve Herrmann mentioned he might be passing by on his way home from Croatia.
He has spent the past four weeks driving his campervan from his home in Reading to Serbia via Switzerland, Croatia and Italy.
So he stopped off for his first cup of tea in four weeks and some French patisseries.
We had a great catch up discussing families, children, work and retirement.
Then he was on his way to a campsite near Valence.
It was lovely to see him. He should be back home by Saturday night.
