Christmas Wishes – 2014
It’s been a busy time in this lead-up to the Festive Season.
Please let me take this opportunity to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Enjoy the time off with family and loved ones.
Should you be on duty: walking the beat, or sitting in the truck waiting for the call-out, or sitting in some Godforsaken place far from home – know that you will be in my family’s thoughts and prayers.
Please stay safe, and keep an eye on each other in these difficult times.
I’m looking forward to more of the same, hopefully….
Peace and goodwill to you all.
