Firsts

I have had a most amazing week, and it occurs to me this morning that it has been a week full of “firsts”:

  • First holiday on my own
  • First time “glamping”
  • First time I drove on a proper motorway (3 lanes)
  • First time I drove to a destination on unfamiliar roads without using satnav
  • First time I went to a track day:

driving celica gt-four at blyton park

That’s me! Driving Gaz’s Toyota Celica GT-Four on a very wet track at Blyton Park.

Other firsts include driving with someone for 3 hours without getting into an argument or being shouted at because we might be lost/traffic is bad/weather is bad and my first time putting up a tent without an argument, but I guess those are less noteworthy in the grand scheme of things ;)

  1. Love the pic of the car, I’m jealous as sin now :)
    It goes without saying that trips can go without swearing, bet that felt great too. I am guessing you will be going on more trips like this, hope you do because it does you a world of good. Happy Jem – Happy kids.

  2. Wow Jem, it’s amazing that you are going out there are trying out new things! Makes me want to find a new positive outlook on the life.

  3. I had an Airfixy model of that exact car. Brought back some memories seeing it. I am also very jealous. Good to read about you enjoying things :)

  4. :D Because that’s how you roll.

    I am really happy for you that you are doing these things, and I hope that it is making you feel good too. :)
