A Driving Day in the cold.

Brrr it was cold this morning when I got up -10 I think.  Even sitting in the living room I was feeling the chill.  However I had to drive over the Bluewater today as the children had their driving experience booked for 12.30.  It had been part of their Christmas pressie, where they could learn to drive for an hour, learning some of the basic skills needed when they start to learn later this year.


The roads were fine actually, even the M25 was moving beautifully when we set off.  Daniel was chatty in the car, Sarah was very quiet, I think a little bit of nervousness had set in.  Well we arrived in plenty of time and went off for a quick coffee and hot choccie.

Turned up at 12.30 for the start of their driving experience.  Very impressed by the whole experience as they children had a full hour. The cars were all registered in 2011, in a clean and good condition.  They learned how to steer the cars, reverse, indicate, lots of moving around.  Sarah even managed to get through to 3rd gear.  Daniel did some reverse parking.  They looked as if they had a really good time.

 It was funny to watch the two of them going around the course.  They were actually quite aware of each other.  Daniel claims that Sarah nearly drove into him coming out of one junction......... I don't think the instructors knew that they were brother and sister following each other around.  They looked fairly confident in their approach and felt as if they had learned something by the end of it. 









 It must have been a success as they both wanted to know when they could go back and do it again.
