At Last!

Well, I've finally done it.

After much consternation, tears and tantrums, and a great deal of time and energy devoted to the cause, I've finally achieved what I thought was going to become the impossible.  I've passed my UK driving test.  Say hello to one of the newer UK driving license holders!



For someone who has already been licensed to drive in the USA for some 25 years, one would wonder what all the fuss was about.  As I've devoted several previous posts outlining the precise nature of 'the fuss', I won't belabor it further.   I believe I had developed somewhat of a phobia in my mind about the whole process, and became my own worst enemy.  After convincing myself that I would become the next record holder for failed attempts at passing, I probably delayed the inevitable for far longer than I should have.



In the end, I passed the test on my first attempt, and I dare say this is my proudest achievement to date since packing my bindle and setting out for roads unknown!  


Rounding the bend ...
