Our good friend and neighbor, Michael, is part of the Peterborough police force and pretty high up in the chain, but on New Year's Eve he got to "walk the beat" for the first time in about 10 years. Emily told me that he had to get all dressed up in his patrolling uniform and I expressed how cool I thought it would be to have my picture taken with a real live British police officer. So Mike came over and put on his gear and posed for some pictures for us.
Harrison was such a cutie. I just love those British police hats!!!
Mike's daughter, Gemma, had a go at trying on the vest, night stick and hat.
Mike even let Kevin try everything on, so we posed with him as well. Harrison got to play with his hand cuffs. Mike told us that while on his beat last night he had a guy who was a little unruly and they had to get a little tough with them. The guy said to Mike, "You don't like me much do you?", Mike replied, "How can that be, we've only just met?" How funny...sounds like he had a good time and it was so much fun having him stop by.
