After several hectic weeks decorating our home and our son’s home we really looked forward to a restful two weeks in the Algarve. By shear chance we booked into a hotel near the quiet fishing village of Alvor. It truly was very relaxing and restful, right on the long, wide beach.

Now I am in my late sixties, I believe I need to rant a bit more often – so here goes!
UK motorists are being converted from the old paper driving licence that slowly disintegrates over a driver’s lifetime. This conversion has been going on for the last ten years or so. When we returned to the UK after a two year stay in the USA, we applied for replacement licences, to replace our paper ones surrendered when we were licensed to drive in the State of Georgia. So far so good, for a pound or two we were offered the new, improved laminated photo ID licence by the UK DVLA. We appeared to have the option of choosing the old paper based licence but, given no other information, we opted for the new improved version.
