If I had done some practice driving..

..on Wednesday, I might have driven from Roundwood to Laragh, discovered that bay parking is a lot more difficult with a longer and heavier car, had lovely ham & cheese toast with chips, practiced again from Shay Elliot forest car park to Glenmalure, taken some pictures, and then practiced all the way from Glenmalure to Laragh. I would also have experienced my first Irish traffic jam (cows), etc.. :-#
