Norfolk 'n' Good.....

Well I'm back from "Naar'ge", and a fine city it is too, I have to say.

My primary reason for going was to undertake a intensive five day driving course there, as I have never had a licence, or a car in my life; nor ever been interested in having one to be honest.

But with the job hunting thing, and the getting back to Kent occasionally thing, I have now had to bite the bullet so as to speak, and have a crack at it.

Apparently, according to the DSA stats, the average person passes their test nowadays after around 40 hours tuition and practice, so I thought it worth the money to cram 20 odd hours into one week, as well as class room lessons, and also sit the theory test at the same time ( I'm "top man" on the old hazard perception test I can tell you!)

Having passed the theory on the Wednesday, there was an opportunity for me to take the driving test on the Friday, but in truth, I had to admit I wasn't really ready. I still need a bit more experience and confidence round those big "mad-as-a-fish" junctions they have in Norwich.

I knew there was no guarantee I would actually pass in five days, as I am an old dog, and this is very definitely a new trick, but overall I think it was money well spent....I'll have a few more lessons locally, and book a test asap in somewhere quiet like Wellingborough I think.

Any Hoo .... the other plus side of the week was that I got to eat out in nice pubs and restaurants every evening, and also fit in a bit of photography.

Yes.....you lucky souls!....here come the photos again !!!
