Fantastic Xmas family lunch today at The Warbler on the Wharf, Milton Keynes. Great company, great food, great atmosphere, lots of laughter๐ ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คถ
Something a bit different for me today. I had the privilege of observing the wonderful Jim deliver training on setting up the decontamination tent and using the helipad. This is all forms part of our work to review the current training on offer and see how we can support them ๐
Ahead of both #RemembranceSunday and Remembrance Day, todayโs service was a moving reminder of the courage, resilience, and dedication of so many.
Thanks to all who joined us to make this a meaningful and memorable event. ๐
