Driving in Hello.

I still hate driving. I passed my driving test 9 months ago now and I still get wound up if I need to drive anywhere. I’m fine driving around town and driving to the places I drove to on my driving lessons, but driving along country roads (of which there are a lot round here!) I hate. I also hate parking and leaving car parks. Driving on the motorway I’m also perfectly fine with!
People keep telling me it will get easier, but when?!
I’ve been determined all week to get to Rannerdale to see the bluebells, but the thought of the twisty, windy, predominantly single track road terrified me. Yesterday the weather was gorgeous and the flowers are on their way out, so I got home from work and told the girls we were going for a picnic before I changed my mind. I was fine! I really was! It was beautiful, I’m so glad I bit the bullet. There was loads of people there, even though it was about 6 pm. We had a lovely walk and got home at about 9pm. The girls went straight to bed.
Then today Rob and I were both off work, so we decided to go to a nearby animal park, again driving along country roads. It was fun, Rob especially loved the piglets who all came running over and rolled onto their backs for belly rubs!
Sunday I’ve agreed to take John’s sister to Carlisle train station, another situation I hate, driving in cities! I think I just need to get out and about more.
