OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE WITHOUT PERSONAL TRANSPORT AFTER 55 YEARS.

.   A cold blustery wind came down the street. It  had swept across Hameldon Hill, Moleside and the lower slopes of the Coppice in Accrington  which formed the backdrop to the view looking up the street in question. Pulling away from the kerb outside our house was a Nissan Almera just starting its 300 mile journey to the Isle of Sheppey, a small island on the Kent side of the Thames Estuary.  Driving the Almera was its new owner, my daughter, and as it rounded the corner and disappeared from view I like to think that the moisture I felt in my eyes was caused by the wind.   A couple of years previously I had been diagnosed with the Dry Type of Age Related Macular Degeneration and the time had arrived to say goodbye to the car.  As it happened, my daughter`s car was suffering from Age Related Mechanical Degeneration so the problem of disposal was solved.
