David can now throw out his L plates having passed his driving 
test today. I was thrilled for him because I felt he deserved to pass, that he was both confident and considerate on the road.
We had arranged to meet for lunch in Cambridge anyway, so it was great to make it a celebratory event at Nandos, one of his favourite restaurants, despite my concerns about where they source their chickens from.
I remember how thrilled I felt when I passed my driving test, I felt more exhilarated than any other exam success I notched up. Although David was quietly pleased – and embarrassed by the jig I did in the street when he told me – he said winning his football teams Players’ Player of the Year Award, as well as their Supporters’ Award last Saturday, had meant more to him, that it was the best night of his life.
I think I can understand that.
Congratulations David. I’m so pleased for you and very, very proud.
yes congratulations is in order…. I hope my son does as well next week when its his turn
Congratulations, David!
Congratulations to David for getting his driver’s license! Although he looks far too young to be driving. DON’T TELL HIM I SAID THAT. ;D
Well done David! 🙂
Sally, yes, I hope so too, I know what a difference it will make to your son’s life living out in the country like us.
David has offered to drive his brother James to school this morning, even though a school bus collects him, and a neighbour too. How could I deny him? It’s got him out of bed earlier as well. 😉
Well done David!
Don’t go mad now 😉
Go David !
Congratulations to David 🙂
Well done, David!
Well done on your son’s achievement. Did you pass first time Ellee?
As for chickens, I once met the chicken buyer from the grup that owns Taco Bell, Col. Sanders and others,. He said his source was the same as the ones that supply to M&S. He bought, at the time, 6 million chickens a year!
I remember the feeling of getting my license!! It was liberating!
David feels liberated too! And it’s a great help too, I must admit, as he can run errands for me down and do the school run for his brother.
[…] No more L plates […]
[…] My husband is lucky enough to have been given a couple of corporate tickets to watch today’s gripping Guinness Premiership final against Leicester at Twickenham. How I wish I was going too, but he is taking David. I know they will have a great time. […]
