I learned to drive when I was 18. My first car was originally my mum’s: a butter yellow Metro! Easy to find in car parks! But it had no fifth gear and struggled going at full speed on dual carriageways…

Then after university I bought a car for myself, a dark green Ford Fiesta which I owned for 6 years before updating to a more modern blue Fiesta.

Last year I needed to buy a bigger car to accommodate the three car seats in the back seat so opted for a blue Galaxy. It also has a huge boot to fit Ollie and all of our luggage in on trips.

I love my Galaxy and am proud of some of the journeys I have made recently. My mum is a very nervous driver and I think expects me to be the same so I loved driving us all the first leg of our holiday last year to York. The look on her face when she waved us off was hilarious! Then I drove  the whole way to Manchester all by myself for BlogOnXmas last month and tomorrow I’m off to Southampton.

The thing I hate most about cars is parking. The actual driving bit I’m fine with but I always worry that I will be able to park when I arrive. I cannot parallel park, never been able to do it The Galaxy has parking sensors which are fab as it is so huge!

So how about you, what was your first car and what are you driving now?
