Since my husband had a bad few weeks of sciatica, I have driven 99% of our journeys. Its been hell. Why don't I enjoy driving so much? Well I guess its because on this tiny island the amount of cars seemed to have doubled in the last year. The amount of young 17 year old new crazy drivers in their racy cars has definitely trebled! and the amount of very old drivers who go terribly slow has doubled. Driving is no fun any more.
Even with driving holidays, the very essence of English life since the 50's. Nowadays its so busy and no pleasure.Even taking holidays during term time the motorways are so congested and the lesser roads are almost at a standstill. Am I getting old? Maybe! Am I becoming a grumpy old woman? Probably!
My daughter and her husband are currently in Europe travelling around with their band for the summer. They enjoy all the driving, I just couldnt do that!
Driving for long distances is no pleasure for me. Especially on the 'wrong' side of the road.
I think I should have been born into a rich family and then I could have a chauffeur! Now thats a thought! I shall keep buying a lottery ticket, you just never know!

isn't it interesting that we call it the wrong side of the road? umm is there a right? i agree i hate driving, i think more now because i would rather enjoy what is moving past me than worrying about all the drivers around me. yet right now i would love to be driving in Ireland or England right or wrong side of the road.
