It's always exciting reading debut fic ... so glad you took the plunge! It's kind of bracing, isn't it, but makes you feel all tingly after. You really got to the emotional heart of the lads with this story, and oh Bodie loves his Raymond so much ...

yes, go on luv, you show ’em, you show the bastards! I loved that little line .. and the idea of them at the men's pond on the Heath ... heh!
