Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and ate and drank too much, we had a lovely week away and because Sean isn't like Rob Cooling I enjoyed not having to cook. Sean is still on holiday but I decided  to get back on the computer and sort out his emails, but mostly to brag to friends after being sworn to secrecy for so long.
I Nora Green is off to Buckingham Palace in May to the Queens Garden Party, Beats everything I've ever done! 

Well that's another year gone, finished work yesterday until the 5th January so I can unchain the wife from the computer.
After last year with just one student not passing their test first time I was hoping this year I might get all my students through first time but it wasn't to be, one still managed to fail on their first attempt. However, before you all starting thinks that result is so good, remember I'm old and lazy, don't work as hard as most of you therefore don't put as many tests up so have a better chance of less fails.
Hope you all have a Happy and Safe Christmas and all the Very Best for 2016

My wife and her trainer at the gym yesterday, apparently he says 1 - 2, 1 being the left hand. It didn't work so he changed it to Left - Right and had another trainer take photos for insurance purposes.
He's a braver man than me, because there isn't any difference in left and right.  She's a fantastic map reader, but waves her right hand about and says,  "take the next left." 

Well done to Megan Kennedy who passed her test on her first attempt.
Hope you get the Christmas present you are hoping for Megan and don't forget to be nice to your dad for all the extra lesson he gave you.
Have  good Christmas and all the Very Best for 2013 and remember my boring saying.
Can you see and be seen?
Drive Safely.

Anyone who has read todays Daily Express will see an article about grand parents not being aware of seat belt laws. It states that the driver is responsible for children up to 12 years old. To clear things up I have just copied Rule 100 from the Highway Code this morning.

The Highway Code.
Rule 100

The driver MUST ensure that all children under 14 years of age in cars, vans and other goods vehicles wear seat belts or sit in an approved child restraint where required (see table above). If a child is under 1.35 metres (approx 4 feet 5 inches) tall, a baby seat, child seat, booster seat or booster cushion MUST be used suitable for the child’s weight and fitted to the manufacturer’s instructions.
