Catherine passed her driving test! Waking at 5.30am to a clutch of fear, clawed by dread throughout the next four hours - and that was how I felt, let alone how Catherine felt. Hovering over the phone, by 9.15 I was sure it was to be like last time - she must have failed again and couldn't bear to tell me. So when she walked in and announced with a big beam 'I passed!' a great sob of relief burst out of me. In fact the sense of relief in this house today has been like the sun coming out.
