I’VE just received my dotage driving licence renewal application but I’m seriously considering not bothering.

I already buy a load of carrots each day for the horses in the field behind my house and I’m seriously thinking of getting around in the saddle.

It would be worth it, if only to ride it around Bishop Auckland at the busiest times of the day.

Mind you, I suspect that I’d have trouble getting my leg over.
