That is one more thing Theexwife
Although I passed my driving test first time, many years ago now I do not drive at all. The thought of it terrifies me.
Perhaps I am just a “nervous Nellie” as I cannot swim either , I am scared of water!!

I cannot drive on motorways, it is so frustrating, I had so many plans when I retired. I wanted to be able to go places without planning, although I like train travel having to plan is not what I was hoping for.

Perhaps badly expressed but with me it has been fear of flying.
I know it has limited my life and experiences.
Presently on GN so many of you have been or are going on lovely holidays and I am so envious.

I have flown quite a few times but the anticipation for weeks before and then the thought of having to fly back has spoilt things.
Fortunately my H was not the sort of man who missed it.
He was happy with walking holidays in this country and frankly enjoyed anything as long as I did all the planning.

He retired at 55 and we could have had lovely adventures if only I could have overcome my fears.

Do any of you have regrets like this?
