BDR on my new Land Rover..maybe!

We started the day with tea and cakes, so I knew we were onto a winner!

Luckily I'm not there to fix engines!

Turning up late in an un-ironed shirt to meet the guys at REME for the BDR course probably didn't get me off to the best start!

Hands on medical training

When Andy mentioned going on a medical course I had visions of sitting in a large, 18 century lecture room, overlooking an operating table many floors down like a scene out of Frankenstein.

What an Honour

I was outside, under the bonnet of one of my Land Rovers when the postman turned up with a smart looking letter. On the back were clearly marked the initials 'SM'.
