I'm so ready for a couple of weeks of down time. It's time to take up the gardening tools and look after the sweetcorn 🌽 and all the other veg in the vegetable garden. I'll be open again from August 10th for business as usual. :)

My annual leave is coming up and I will be telling students in person but, for those who have their lessons every two / three weeks or those booking a test date and would like me to accompany them, I will be pluging myself into a charger from 27th July until 10th August. :)

We are definitely in the throws of a heatwave. Time to swap the wooly jumpers, socks and boots for sun hat, shades and light comfortable clothing. 😎 I'm posting this as I've had a few people coming for their driving lesson in flip flops.

However, when coming to me for a driving lesson or practicing between lessons, it's important that your shoes/sandals have a heel strap to save having to reshedule your lesson. You don't have full control over the pedals and flip flops or sandals without a heel strap can slip off and get caught on the car mat under the pedals. Also driving tests will not go ahead if you wear backless shoes or sandals without a heel strap.
