A Testing Time.


We had a call from Laura this morning, she was bursting with excitement because she had passed her driving test this morning and of course that meant I had to ring my insurance company to add her, so that she could drive the Micra. I am really pleased for her, she has always loved cars for as long as I can remember she has been longing to drive. She will have to make do with the Micra, but perhaps that's not a bad thing, because she needs to take things slowly and carefully.

One of the nice things about being on holiday is doing nothing and today was one of those days, it was sunny and warm and all I wanted to do was to enjoy the beach and the garden. Robbie and I took a walk to the shop, but that was the furthest we went today. It is so peaceful sitting in the garden, all the every day worries seem a million miles away. It was so nice today that Sam was in a good enough mood to let me take his photograph - almost unheard of.

Robbie has been in his element this evening, he is watching train DVD's, but being Robbie he can't just watch he is providing his own commentary and providing all his own sound effects! I bought him a whole set of DVD's about British Heritage Railways, and he has brought his Branch Line sets as well as an assortment of other train DVD's. If he is still feeling deprived of after all that, he also has a stack of railway magazines and every few minutes he shows me a picture or reads an article to me. We did manage to take his mind off trains for a few minutes this evening, there was an amazing orange moon and I had never seen so many stars, so we all went outside to have a look.
