And, for everyone else...

Thinking about it,
Just starting out,
Stopping and starting,
In the messy middle,
Near the end,
Almost at the finishing line

Every journey, every lesson, as hard as it can be.

Try to enjoy the good bits and the hard bits 😵‍💫.

Some roads are just bumpier than the others ❤️❤️

It all comes together in the end xx

Just look at that smile 😊

A super 1st time pass for Scott this morning in Irvine 👌

Proud as punch as always, not as much as mum though. Both boys are an absolute credit to you Anna Maria and a pleasure to teach ❤️.

Looking forward to getting the last one on the roads for you next year. For now you have a wee break from me.

Well done again Scott. Really was never in doubt, you worked hard on lessons and always turned up looking to learn and improve.

See you on the roads real soon. Thank you for my card and chocolates 😋

My friends local business ❤️. Would thoroughly recommend, there really isn't much she can't do. Give her new website a look guys xx

We’ve been a bit quiet… 👀

BUT we definitely haven’t been idle! 😂

Windy Wizzen’s has been busy behind the scenes creating new things, working on the website and generally making a mess with lasers, slate, wood and everything else we can get our hands on!

And tomorrow we’re back, for the first time at Strathaven Park Market ! 🥳

Come and have a nosy, say hello and see what we’ve been making.

And if you can’t make it tomorrow, our shiny new website is finally LIVE! 🎉

👉 https://www.windywizzensemporium.com/

There’s lots more coming over the next few weeks too…

Thanks for sticking around while we’ve been busy behind the scenes. 🧡

As driving instructors we have such an important job to try and educate our pupils at the earliest opportunity in their driver training.

Huge respect to the victims family for sharing their story and well done on raising awareness of the importance of safe and responsible driving.

Best of luck to everyone receiving their exams results this morning ❤️.

To anyone that doesn't receive the results they needed, don't worry. What might feel like the end is only the the beginning of an exciting whole new chapter. You just don't know it yet.

After receiving my final results back in 2001 I went to study Maths at Strathclyde Uni. 4 amazing years later I graduated with an honors degree. I thought my career would always involve numbers. My path was set, so I thought.

I started working and studying for an accountancy qualification but quickly realised it wasn't for me.

Saw an advert to join Strathclyde Police and on a whim applied. After spending 15 amzing years in uniform, I decided on another career change.

Never in all they years did i see myself running my very own successful driving school business. And I wouldn't change a second of it.

Accountancy helps me with my books and the police advance training helped me become the driver and instructor I am today.

So if you didn't get the results you expected or are still deciding what path to choose.

Don't worry, you have a long road ahead of you, enjoy the ride ❤️❤️

Two passes in 2 days. What a team 👏

Today was special, as it was oor Amber's turn 🥰.

The hard work and determination that goes into each one of these passes should never be underestimated.

Sometimes it also takes a bit of courage and a whole load of self belief (and some lucky leopard print) to get the job done. And that was exactly you today Mrs ❤️.

So, so proud as punch today and absolutely over the moon for you.

Not just an amazing tattoo artist, also an awesome wee driver passing on the very 1st attempt in Irvine.

Time to enjoy all your hard work, will see you very soon for some new ink and a catch up. Dont forget to wave 👋
