Based on a suggestion from an autistic student who was unable to start driving lessons due to the lockdown I've made a short video for my website which introduces myself, my SEN driving school and my tuition car. 😀

Still love our infra red heating system, we've had it for nearly 3 years now. Much prefer these on the roof to radiators on the walls. 🙂 20+ year life span and zero maintenance or servicing due to no moving parts. – at Nottingham, England

These pop up cones have come in very handy for bay parking challenges. 🚗🙂 – at Nottingham, England

ADINJC workshops remain one of my favourite forms of CPD, really enjoyed the recent ones and I've signed up for all their new ones. 🙂 🚗 – at Nottingham, England

Perci is 2 years old now, he's grown (and changed colour) a lot since this old photo. 🐩🙂

Love an unconventional driving lesson, waiting for a pupil (full licence holder) doing a solo drive after a few rehearsals. Driving fully independently can be quite a different experience, always more to learn. 🙂🚗 – at Nottingham, England

We have tomatoes. 🙂🍅 – at Nottingham, England

The Inspire Instructor Training Podcast is simply superb, highly recommended for all driving instructors. 🙂 link.deezer.com/s/34xFMzpHk5… – at Nottingham, England

☀️ 3 years later solar has proven to be a superb investment. Plus they look awesome. ☀️ Gas disconnected, solar/batteries/grid powering 3 EV's, house, and infra-red (IR) heating system. IR heating works superb and the electric hot water supply is VERY hot. 😃 – at Nottingham, England

The Surf has completed it's initial 10,000 miles. ⚡⚡ Love teaching in this EV. – at Nottingham, England

Going to see Epica at the Royal Albert Hall next year. 😃🎶

A wonderful piece by the superb Lincoln ADI Mike Nunn on thinking differently as an autistic driving instructor. 🙂 learn-smart.uk/autistic-driv…

One of my favourite photos from Heihei's first year with us, just a normal morning getting my admin done with a poodle by my side and a pigeon on my head. 🙂 – at Nottingham, England

Another night time Pass Plus, this time in a thunder storm. ⛈️

I read a lot for work and 'UNMASKED : The Ultimate Guide to ADHD, Autism and Neurodivergence' is very good. 🙂 audible.co.uk/pd/UNMASKED-Au… – at Nottingham, England

Perci loves dismantling cardboard boxes. 🙂

Our home grown potatoes. 🙂 They are really good. – at Nottingham, England

Loving the BYD Dolphin Surf, what a fantastic little EV. 🙂⚡ – at Nottingham, England

I read constantly for work and this is excellent. An audiobook covering evidence based driving psychology, learning theory, and neurodiversity for real world lessons. Highly recommended for all driving instructors. I do wish more driving instructor books released as audio. 🙂 – at Nottingham, England

Through tunnels, hump back bridges, fords etc... it's time for another all day Pass Plus adventure. 🚗🌲😃 – at Nottingham, England

A very tired Heihei popped in for a nap, suspect he's raising more young ones. 🙂 – at Nottingham, England
