Lucky Break

The last week has been incredibly lucky for me.

I don't know why - and I don't really want to question it too much either, incase it breaks it. It could be my horoscope, the stars have aligned or could be a cosmic balance - Who knows? But I am taking full advantage of it.

I had a wonderful double (2 hours) driving lesson today with my amazing driving instructor, Ray. 

He is so patient with me, I practised the 3-point turn, Parallel Parking and Reversing round the corner 4 times on each one, and each time he praised me for a job well done - so much so, I feel I am ready for my practical test. 

I have booked my practical test now, and it is very, very soon - I don't want to jinx it by telling anyone what day it is - so I will just announce it here when I pass - and I am determined to pass, I am on a mission to pass.

Today, I drove very well...approximately 30 miles in total, all through the busy town centres, through a gorgeous little village and through all of the narrow, tiny country lanes - perfect! Only made a couple of minor errors, but nothing to fail on.

I have another lesson on Saturday morning - this one will be 1hr 30mins long - this is just to boost my confidence a bit more, which I am happy to do. The more experience I have before my test, the better, this way I will be as confident as possible for my test - you can never get too much driving experience!

I am very much looking forward to this - I enjoy driving tremendously. 

After my lesson, I finished at the shops and treated myself to a £2 scratchcard - I won £40!! So that will pay for Saturday's driving lesson! Amazing! Long may my luck continue...
