happy birthday sweet 17

So today another milestone, twins of 17.

Driving lesson this afternoon and an old Citroen AX being brought to readiness as a first car.

Insurance is the big bugbear for the budding driver. Taliesin bought himself a Land Rover Discovery, then immediately realized he could not afford to insure it. People live for half a year on the figure he was quoted as a premium. Which was anyway lots more than the car cost to buy!!!

It's a big problem locally, lots of the young scallies have realized that the fine they get for not having insurance is less than buying insurance. SO they wing it.

Taliesin Bethan and Branwen could well be driving by the summer, looks like we will be going to France on our own. If we can afford it having paid for the lessons and the car which will doubtless lose all it's fuel over night periodically.
