Party poopers

OVER the New Year holiday, our family sadly had an emergency that resulted in the need to call on emergency services in the capital.

The doctors and ambulance crews, as well as police and social services, were not only very professional, but also sensitive to our distress, and we are so grateful, especially as some of them had already been working through the night.

We all enjoy a moan now and then, but events make you realise how lucky we are to have so many folk who go that extra mile.
