Just before we were all confined to barracks, my 14 year old great grandson came to stay with me for ostensibly for a week, but now it appears he is here for the summer.
You have to start home education somewhere, so I have been teaching him to shoot an air rifle and to drive the Landrover. Fortunately, there is half a mile of private track between my bungalow and the main road, so we have plenty of space for this.
Having got quite proficient in the Landy, and finally succumbing to his entreaties, I gave him his first driving lesson in the RP yesterday. Having explained the quirks of the clutch, he mastered it first time away and absolutely loved driving the little car! Now I shall have to teach him how to double-declutch! (And hide the keys!)
