Up and about early this morning for a test at 0810. Well worth it though as Magda passed with just 3 driving faults. This was Magda's second test with the first having been in Nov 22. It has been a long journey for Magda, she said from the beginning she was very nervous and this did slow her progress. She would only move on when she was ready even though I said she was doing well. We have been through 3 lockdowns but persevered and today was the most pleasing pass I have ever had. Well done Magda and huge congratulations, they are well deserved. Stay safe and I am always here if you need advice or further help.
