But I live in Hicksville, we don't have motorways....!

My BF thinks it's hilarious and hillbilly that, at the ripe (very ripe) old age of 48 I have never ever driven a car on a motorway, I've only ever been a passenger. I've driven on dual carriageways, lumpy bumpy long winding dangerous Fenland roads. I've driven on local roads in Spain, France & Holland - but motorway, solo, no.

My county does not have a motorway. Our nearest is probably 50 miles away in another county. So he cannot understand that I am a tad nervous about the following car journey I will be undertaking in 5 days' time, on my own:-
Lincolnshire to Cambridgeshire, down the A1 and then the A1M to the M25 down to terminal 5 at Heathrow. Then the following morning from Heathrow across the country down to Truro in Cornwall via the M4 and the M5. Then 10 days later, from Plymouth up to Cardiff on lordy knows what motorway.

Should I get Sat Nav? Am I being a big Hicksville rural baby? At 48 and driving now for 26 years, should I really be so nervous? Help me ladies (men will just think I'm being a plonker girlie).

We're stopping of at a hotel just before Heathrow for a night of passion and plane-spotting.... Heathrow will be the next morning.

In fact Plaid had a nightmare the other night - he dreamt he went on holiday and the Steam Train Museum was closed.....

Oh, the man does not live in the real world !!
