It is odd that Fenny Stratford seems to have popped up a couple of times recently. My very first home was there, but I was less than three when we moved to Ripon, so I don't remember it at all. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don was my ride out instructor in 1980 when we were both at Sheffield but seeing as i had been driving for 4yrs under driver supervision (as we all were in those days) we ( 4 trainees ) spent most of the time discussing and testing each other on rules. light refreshments were also taken.
