    -- Chapter 20 -- It was Friday afternoon when Matt and Levi finally made it to Macquarie Harbour and to the office of the Roads and Traffic Authority – the place where learner’s permits and licenses were either handed out or denied. With Luke’s help, Levi had downloaded the rules of the road from their website, and he had been working through the online guides and mock tests for the permit. There was a lot to take in, but the online tests seemed simple enough – mostly theory – so by the

    I like the sound of this one! Right up my alley!

    Watch this space! LOL

    I think there is something similar here where you can get a restricted licensee at 16 (the same age you can get your Learners permit) but only IF you need it for work.

    Is that what you would call a boobie prize?

    Oh, he's still in town! 😁

    Lucky they didn't throw you in the Tower for that one, my friend! 🙂 I also have another error that hasn't happened yet ... yeah, confusing, I know ... but a slight edit to the final chapter of 'Traditions' will prevent a rip in the fabric of time! 😋 The things us writers can get away with sometimes, huh? LOL

    @Summerabbacat back in "our day" it was 16 and 9 months for our "L's" and 17 for our "P's" ... and we only had to hold our "L's" fot (I think) a minimum 48 hours. A lot different to now ... "L's" at 16, "P's" at 17, and 100+ hours in your log book before you can go for your "P's". Don't tell anyone, but I've stuffed up here, as Levi has turned 16 in year 9 and not year 10! Ooops! If anyone asks, I better just tell them he started school a year late! 😋 MP

    -- Chapter 19 -- When he woke on the morning of his sixteenth birthday, Levi didn’t really have any great expectation as to what the day might bring. Birthdays were usually low-key affairs in his old home, with small gifts and usually a good breakfast, then perhaps a special meal, whether that was at home, or at a local restaurant. He had discussed his birthday with his father recently, when Matt had shown him his birth certificate, but he didn’t really expect the day to be any differen

    Oh great! More excellent ideas for my stories! Thanks guys! ♥️

    @Summerabbacat only you would know these even exist! lol

    Oh no, none of that. The identity of the 'victim' needs to be a mystery! That way "anyone" can imagine themselves in the hot seat!

    I can just see the posters in the shop windows and the flyers in the mailboxes already!!!!!
  17. Mark Ponyboy Peters
    How about all of the above???

    Hmmm . . . maybe I should just put ya'll out of your misery and explain some of this background stuff?!?! Although I do enjoy your speculation! MP

    -- Chapter 18 -- By the beginning of July, Levi had been living in Thompsonville for three months. How time flies, huh? One Monday morning he found himself standing in the kitchen, wearing only his boxer briefs and an old t-shirt – his usual sleepwear – while staring at the calendar on the wall; and at one date in particular. July 19th. It wasn’t marked or anything. No scribbles in red to say anything was happening, or that it was an important date in any way. Just a blank square displ

    Oh, there is a "good" Thompson in Thompsonville ... but you guys haven't met him yet. I'm still working on him for you all! 😁

    Hmmmm....... lol

    @Summerabbacat they're Thompsons! WTF do you expect? lol Rest assured, Casey will be showing his true colours soon enough.....

    -- Chapter 17 -- The freedom felt incredible. Levi pedalled along Beachside Lane, the morning sun warm on his back and the wind whipping through his hair. Matt had given him the green light the night before – he could ride to school as long as he was careful and promised to call if he needed picking up. For the first time since arriving in Thompsonville, Levi was beginning to feel a real sense of independence. He cruised through town, down Main Street and out over the weir, then up

    Nah ... we prefer Au Naturale! It's cheaper that way too! lol When we did try AI it cost us thousands and still didn't end up with a foal. We did get one but lost him at about 12 months. And another one died after a couple of days ... so I've sworn off AI now. Can't bloody afford it!!!
  25. Mark Ponyboy Peters
    Nah. He bought a few coloured ones along the way, but only ever bred one himself ... by helping himself to the use of one of my stallions. lol I still have that one at home ... she's about 18 now I think. 🙂
