Seems ages since I last wrote this blog. Gill's dad Wally had his funeral last week which was arranged by Pat Gallagher who did Shaun's funeral. It was a nice family affair and just what was needed. We are now very experienced in funerals and should really open a consultancy! Next year has to be better. Bol*ocks to 2010 frankly.
Ive looked after Poppy a bit recently so have been very much at home. I managed to get up to the Met last Tuesday to at least get some protest pics for my AS level project and managed a few.Unfortunately it didnt kick off! I also got some poor pics at a protest in Brighton that I took Poppy to! It was the only way I could get the pics! Main difficulty was every cop wanted to speak to me which was quite sweet. Chasing police and Prots round Brighton with a baby buggy is not to be recommended!All the cops wanted to catch up on my retirement etc.
When I went to the Houses of Parliament last week I met Sx officers at the location so ended up having a long chat with the Tacads and Andys Kundert and Fleming. Once a cop always a cop! Small world the public order world. I also met Garry Learmonth who is a friend of Lauras now an Inspector in the Met outside 'the house'. He was at Poppys christening! Anyway Ive got some reasonable pics all in all.
So its off to NY on Thursday until 29th Dec...and we are all looking forward to it. News on the inside is that weve upgrades both ways..so fingers crossed on that one. A cop from NYPD is picking us up from the airport too in his 8 seater good old boy. I cant thank Taff our mate in the Met for his work and contacts.Have invited him and his family to stay for a weekend in the Spring. Lovely family.
