Scary driver

Husband doesnt drive or play golf so I thought he would like to drive the cart while I played 9 holes. It was too late in the afternoon to do 18. He was pretty nervous and had 2 speeds fast or nothing. We went up the top of one hill and there was a big pond on the other side so he just stopped dead, no brake on me yelling put the brake on or give it some gas. Anyway he enjoyed the driving so that will be good to do again, maybe, on a quiet course.
 Apart from that we took his Mum out to lunch and hung around her place. Nearly all the motels were full, dont know why it was hard to find a room. We could have stayed with his mum but shes getting older and we dont like to put her to any trouble. 
We drove back to Lithgow, nearly running out of petrol (I was looking at the symbol for ages and not registering it properly). We couldnt find a place to stay in Lithgow so drove on to Blue Mts in rain and mist and tiredness. I stopped at the first hotel I saw my husband thought we would just check it out but I didnt care if we slept on staw, I wasnt driving anymore. Was really nice and the cheapest. The next day we went to Mt Tomah Botanical Gardens which was wonderful all the cold climate plants that I love and cant grow on the coast and beautiful old trees. So we did animal vegetable and mineral. We did a guided tour which is always good, a very nice man showed us around for an hour. We'll go back in spring and see it more in bloom. 
That was our beautiful holiday.
