The team network is coming in most handy...I've just been presented with a pair of regulation HM Army issue boots for my next trip to Iraq/Afghanistan, courtesy of the Grenadier Guards...I jest not. My Team Manager took pity on me following my tales of woe re. the quagmire at Baghdad Airport base when it rained, and had set his Forces contacts a challenge; to get a pair of suitable boots that would fit a girlie. When I got into the office yesterday there was a large parcel awaiting me containing a brand spanking new pair of exceptionally robust footwear <-

Said network has also produced an invite to visit the Household Cavalry stables with Miss Sensible in a couple of months...talk about perks of the job :o)

PS. Don't tell Queenie
