Good by Audi - good by independance

 Dear Readers!   

prepare yourself for a shock - even if it is only the one that hits me...some months earlier this year, in deepest rural Dordogne I woke up in my warm country bed whilst in my early 80's - warm because its mattress was covered with an electrical heated stretch sheet. (sorry readers, such is apparently NOT available in France).  I went to the kitchen, refilled my water bottle and brought back of a cup of tea....somewhere under the bed was whatever I was reading last night...and I began to think....

Thinking led to the decision to give up driving....whilst I still had all confindence in my Audi I no long had in my judgement behind the wheel.

I decided I would no longer drive....unsafe for me, unsafe for others on the road. My decision has been well accepted by all who are affected by it - with great kindess and some comfort - and a lot of help.
